Editorial Reviews

Product Description

History has indelibly imprinted itself onto the cityscape of Berlin - the period of the Nazi regime in particular. The many air raids and the destruction wrought during the final Battle of Berlin have left their traces, as have the Nazis - megalomaniac restructuring plans to transform Berlin into the future world metropolis "Germania". Maik Kopleck's "PastFinder" takes you to the well-known and lesser known sites of Nazi history in Berlin. It gives a concise account of the historic events and introduces the most important personalities. Several maps and a clear graphic design let you put together your own sightseeing tour and provide quick orientation at each location.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guidebook for WW II Researchers, March 1, 2009

By	Texas Sutherland (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This is a superb book that is really well organized and a quick read. You can sort through period interests based on geography or topic. Kopleck tells you the exact address where a place of interest is (or was). In Berlin the exact location is really important because street numbers don't always run logically. Driving the city you can program a GPS to the address of interest and then just go.

The book covers typical topics like finding Hitler's Bunker--it's long gone--to more obscure places like the Nazi forest where trees outside Berlin were planted--and still grow--in the shape of a swastika.

Buy this book if you are going to Berlin and really want to see where events happened.
