Germany has been forced to cancel public events to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War Two in Europe but Berliners need no ceremonies to remember their downfall – the scars of war are all around them… link |

Last time I was there was in the early 80's, I thought the east zone had more remaining scars that the west. |

When I have visitors in town and we are driving at night I tell them that if you see green tracers that's an AK, yellow tracers are AR's. You're in the most danger if you are not the intended target. Wolfhag |

the scars of war are all around them… Very much so. And not just physical. The big fear should be not remembering what and how it happened. |

I was there in 1976. The West had very few visible scars, but when I went through Checkpoint Charlie to the East side, in some places it looked like the war had only ended a few days ago. |

Berlin's greatest scars from WW2 may well be the number of UXBs from 4+ years of strategic bombing. Very large numbers of the bombs dropped during the course of the strategic bombing campaign may have been duds. When one of these turns up (often in the course of a construction project), entire neighborhoods are evacuated. link link B |

The Alamo of Germany, although unlike the Texans not all Germans fighting there died nor did they win the war. I'd love to visit Berlin one day and game the battle. |
