Description
Experience history where it unfolded—Berlin was the political center of the Third Reich. The streets you walk mark Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor in 1933, the Reichstag fire, the planning of genocide, and the collapse of the regime in the Führerbunker.
This tour goes beyond dates and landmarks to explain how democracy transformed into dictatorship, and how ordinary people became complicit in extraordinary crimes. The route includes the Reichstag, the Topography of Terror with its visible basement cells, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, the Führerbunker site, and memorials to the Roma and Sinti and to murdered homosexuals—often overlooked in other tours.
You will also learn about Johann Georg Elser, who nearly assassinated Hitler in 1939, a story rarely told on other tours. Your guide is a qualified military historian offering in-depth context and perspective.
