HISTORICAL TOUR, BERLIN

I know the significance isn't 100% clear just from the photos, but included within these are: The Brandenburg Gate where the Berlin Wall "fell" in 1989, the hotel from which Michael Jackson held his child over a balcony, the site of Hitler's bunker and place of death (carpark), Checkpoint Charlie which was the site of the Berlin Crisis (1961) a stand-off between American and Soviet tanks which could have led to a nuclear WW3, the German History Museum with renovations by I.M Pei, the largest water pond carved from a single piece of granite and Berlin Hauptbahnhof Train Station.
