Sowjetisches Ehrenmal

  • Address: Str. des 17. Juni, Tiergarten, Berlin

Fodor's Review:

Built immediately after World War II, this monument stands as a reminder of the Soviet victory over the shattered German army in Berlin in May 1945. The Battle of Berlin was one of the deadliest on the European front. A hulking bronze statue of a soldier stands atop a marble plinth taken from Hitler's former Reichkanzlei (headquarters). The memorial is flanked by what are said to be the first two T-34 tanks to have fought their way into the city.

  • Metro: Unter den Linden (S-bahn)
