Not a tree was left standing in the Tiergarten after the bombing raids and fire-fights which brought World War II to an end. Yet it was here that the Soviets chose to erect an imposing memorial just months after the end of the War. The weather-worn statue of a soldier is flanked by two Russian T34 tanks, apparently the first to enter Berlin in 1945. Interestingly, the material for the construction of the memorial was taken from the ruins of Hitler's Chancellery.

Actually situated in the Western military sector during the Cold War, many a baffled tourist has stood beneath the Soviet memorial, worried as to how he unwittingly got into the enemy sector.
