The Soviet Memorials

One the last Tuesday we went to the Treptower Park and saw the giant Soviet memorial built in the park. The memorial was a reminded of how the Soviets had won the war and beat the Germans. It was also built so they would never forget who saved them from Hitler and the Nazis. The memorial its self takes up a large area of the park







On our last day we finally got to see the Soviet Memorial in the Tiergarden. This memorial was built very quickly after the Soviet's took the city of Berlin. They took the stones from Hitlers chanselor building and was built in order of the fallen soviet soldiers. Once the wall went up this memorial ended up on the west side of the wall.
