I love these battle damage videos! They are so cool, I’m so happy they don’t restore all the damage. It should be left for historical purposes so we can always remember.
They dont restore even the faith to human kind.
I live near Gettysburg and those buildings 160 years later still have bullet holes and damage from the battle. It’s part of the history
How do most Germans feel about the war?

@@Romulan2469how do most Germans feel about the Battle of Gettysburg? I’m not sure, you’ll have to ask them.
We are always glad to work with @dw_travel in videos like this one! Thank you for having us again in your channel ❤
Germany fought to save Europe from communism and finance capitalism.
Congrats guys, I'm a follower of the channel... I could not be more proud of you two. Great work!
Fiquei tão feliz em ver vcs na DW!!!!
Parabéns galera!! Vocês merecem!
Berlin is definitely on my bucket list.
Very nice production. The emphasis on why the effigies of the horror of WW2 were left as reminders the world must never forget are great.

I lived and worked at Templhof Airport for 10 months in 1985. It was very interesting to explore the interior of such a massive building structure. I also was able to go into East Berlin five times. Such a difference than West Berlin. It was like walking into a black and white movie. I have always wanted to return and match the photos I took with the same modern day place.
Sounds like a great idea!
Yes, same here.
My father was a lifer in the USAF, and I lived in West Berlin as a young child, 1961-62. We arrived just three months after "The Wall" went up in August of '61. I should say it wasn't much of a wall when I saw it in Nov-Dec, just a crude stack of concrete cinder blocks, and very brief. Most of "The Wall" was thick rolls of barbed-wire and mine-laden fields. It took awhile for "The Wall" to become a full-fledged wall. Every school day, my older sister and I would walk past what was once a church, destroyed by Allied Bombers in WWII, and left in a heap of rubble with a plaque to commemorate. We walked past it twice a day; once going to school, then again returning home. It was not the Kaiser-Wilhelm ~ too small. However, it had a haunt to it that left a huge impact on this 6-year-old, each time I walked by it. We lived a lot of places on this planet, compliments of the USAF ~ some incredible places I'll never forget ~ but none come even close to West Berlin in 1961-62 for intensity.
While in Italy on vacation I was 11 years old in the early 80’s. I remember going by the rows of white crosses near Monte Casino. I was actually able to talk to two veterans. 1 a pilot the other a tanker. I remember passing the still damaged building 40 years later. It never left me. I also remember the buildings in my grandmother’s region still with scars of bombs and fighting
Full circle. I lived In England in the late 80s and happened to go through Check Point Charlie three months before the wall came down.
I loved that Wall in 1984. Both sides of it.
@@billbrandley5839 I was in my early twenties in 1984. It felt really strange seeing the reality that the two Germany's lived in on either side of the wall.
I'm a WWII history student and the video is fascinating. Thank you for making it and sharing it on YT.
My Grandfather was at Verdun in WWI. His 4 sons were in different battles of WWII. One of them was at Stalingrad. They all survived and returned.
I served in Berlin as a U.S. Army bandsman from 1983 - 1991. Saw the Wall come down. Potsdamer Platz, at the time, was bisected by the Wall. It has been massively restored in a modern style. Yes, the Soviets waged a brutal campaign in the last weeks of the war with many killed on both sides.
I remember well a Christmas concert I played in the NEW Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche (located next to the restored church) in about 1984 or 1985. The blue lighting offered a remarkable ambience.
Thank you for sharing your memories with us!
I would like to see more, please continue with your tour. You both are doing a wonderful job.
Thank you so much.
I visited West Berlin in December 1984. I obtained a 24 hour visa to visit East Berlin in the DDR.
I passed through Checkpoint Charlie and emerged to a city out of a George Orwell novel. Much of it still in ruins, with scaffolding preventing buildings from falling on pedestrians.
I remember a similar visit around the same time. It was strange going through checkpoint Charlie and moving over into a world you only saw in movies. I'm going back to Berlin in a few weeks and it will be interesting to see how everything has changed after 40 years.
I was a US Army MP stationed in Berlin from 74-77 and spent a lot of time at Checkpoint Charlie. And crossing over into East Berlin was like taking a step back in time. It was amazing how much of a difference there was between East and West. My only regret is not being there when the Wall came down!
@@mikebikekite1 checkpoint charlie now has a hard rock next to the iconic guardhouse and a mcdonalds across from it
@@vw2112 I think I preferred it before ;)
Bingo!
The big pit in Görlitzer park is actually a crater from a bombed out u-bahn station. Some of the original concrete structure is still standing.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I an American, but my family is from the United Kingdom and Deutschland. I am proud of my heritage from both sides of my family. I am a boomer, but I have a direct relation to both sides of the 2nd world war within my family. I have been to the region of the UK where my father was from, but I have never been to the region of Germany where my mother was raised. They have both since passed away, and my mother was always silent when it came to speaking about her home land. It saddens me to know that her shame of her former country lived throughout her entire adult life.
I would love to visit Deutschland und Osterreich and visit Kitzbuhel (where my mother's family originates, their nachname ist Kitz).
Sorry for my broken German, es ist nicht mein muttersprache.
Great video, so interesting and informative. I can’t wait to go back to Berlin and see those sites again.
Always a pleasure watch your work Elisa and Rodrigo, really austanding ❤
Great colab as usual, love the videos with @Alemanizando!
❤
Having been a British Soldier serving in Berlin in the 60's this video was of great interest to me and brought back many memories. A wonderful city with wonderful people
Wunderbar to see our Brazilian representatives from Alemanizando in another great collaboration with DW!
❤
Very good content and very important what is shown.
Forgotten history will repeat itself.
Using tourism to spread culture is to make knowledge delicious.
Simply amazing! The best German TV broadcast features the best TH-cam channel about Germany!
Thank you for the video guys. Real eye opener video thank you! Blows my mind that world war 2 only happened fairly recently in human history. I ned to book a trip to Berlin asap
They nailed it! Love seeing Alemanizando here on this channel 😍, their channel is simply AMAZING
hihihih 🥰
Muito, muito bom! Parabéns aos gaúchos Lisa e Rodrigo!
Thanks for the wonderful tour of Berlin. It’s is sad to see that all the monuments have a terrible drawing in it.
Fantastic video, I'm going to Berlin soon so will try to check some of these out 😃
Learning and traveling with Elisa and Rodrigo ❤
Wow! That is really atmospheric - being a war student and knowing the horrors that Berlin suffered.
Nie wieder Krieg, meine freunde!
My favorite WW2 artifact in the world is in the Kaiser Wilheim church. The Stalingrad Madonna.
Wonderful and very informative looking forward for more of your work
Great video! Really like it. Very interesting!
Always great to see Alemanizando videos here on the DW Travel channel!
Really nice content! I love Alemanizando videos!
Thanks, @Alemanizando... Excellent video! ❤
❤
I am greatly impressed by younger German peoples knowledge and perspectives when it comes to WW2.
Fascinating. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
My congrats to the couple for this amazing work!
Best team to show the city, love alemanizando!
❤
I served in Berlin, Germany from 1984-1987 with the U.S. Army. My duty site was built atop WWII rubble (Teufelsberg) after the war ended. I also lived at Andrews Kaserne during that time. Both locations have significant history for that time.
Great video. Thank you!
visitei muitos lugares quando estive por aí, graças a vocês!! e sonho em voltar! ps: inglês massa! parabéns pelo canal! 🤗😘
Aeeeê, another video from Alemanizando and DW partnership!!!

Thank you for this informative video
The best Rodrigo and Elissa! I love the videos on DW Travel present by @alemanizando.

Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Hello to Sweden 😃!
Beautiful vídeos...thank you
Thank you both for your internal view of Berlin.. I have visited twice, but live here now so must return to Berlin. Subscribed, Happy, Thankful
Welcome to our channel!
I went to Berlin in July 1990 and saw some of the place outlined in the video.
Great video! So cool!!
Elissa e Rodrigo vocês são excelentes, até em inglês.❤❤❤
Look at the damage, still evident, on the columns and top of the Brandenburg Gate!
Great video, and great to see the Alemanizando people here!
❤
Thanks for sharing.
My father was a Flight Engineer on a B-17 bomber in the 306th Bomb Group of the United States Army Air Corp as it was known back then…not yet Air Force.
One of the missions he was a part of was to Berlin. He also took part in one of the Schweinfurt missions as well as many others. I’m lucky to be here as so many bombers didn’t return.
He passed away July 4th, 1995.
I am now only ten years shy of my father’s age at passing, much older than that young man who took part in that terrible world war. It was a war that wasn’t supposed to happen due to the war to end all wars also in Europe 1914-1918, demonstrating man’s inability to avoid mistakes of the past from generation to generation it seems.
I feel confident my then young father went to war to stop Hitler’s Nazi armies and end the war so he could hopefully make it home and go on with his life. Many of Europe’s cities were in ruins at wars end, with millions of shattered life’s!
This video depicts the present while also looking through a window of a not too distant and violent past.
Democracy is fragile, and lessons from the past fade, and given the right circumstances, people can be manipulated and lose sight.
Great job @Alemanizando 🎉
❤
I was able to visit East Berlin in 1989 and was amazed and appalled at the damage to buildings in the East compared to the reconstruction in the West. I always wanted to go back after the wall came back and revisit some of those areas after the wall came down. Excellent video. Best to you!
The Russians refused to rebuild a lot.
So proud of Alemanizando here in DW!! I love them!! 🧡
❤ ❤
Excellent video. I have seen Berlin. Thank you
RS. Canada
I got to go to East Berlin in 1987, on a US State Department bus. We were able to go anywhere in the city. It looked like the war had ended maybe a month before. Many bombed out buildings, and many with hundreds of bullet marks in the walls. It didn't seem that much had been rebuilt by then.
This guys rulesss. I love their Channel, what a lovely surprise seeing their content here
❤
In 1975, as British soldiers, we were taken to the place of the July 1944 plotters execution. Real history and a genuine eye opener.
We have many buildings in London also bearing scars from bomb damage. The shrapnel damage is unmistakable and it’s nice it’s been left, it gives us a permanent reminder of the struggles of yesteryears. I’d love to visit Berlin, I know several people who’ve been and they say it’s a fascinating place. The huge flak tower is a truly superb structure and is something I have on my bucket list for the future. Thank you for your very informative post. Berlin….I’m coming to visit!!!! ❤️🇬🇧🇩🇪
Yes, and you should get Info before coming to Berlin, as they do guided tours in that one, as all of those guys doing these tours are volunteers, it only opens very rarely = please look up about it at = Berliner Unterwelten 😊
Good luck and greetings from Germany 🖐

@@saba1030 thank you. Danke.
Very nice video!!
Wonderful. Thank you.
I visited Berlin in 1993 and the most striking thing that I remember was walking down a Street and noticing buildings on one side were old and worn out and on the other side the buildings were well kept. On either side of street, the buildings were old and basically from the same Pre-war Period. There was no trace of the Wall, but you knew one side was East Berlin and the other side was the West.
Excellent video!
I love the videos on DW Travel presented by @alemanizando. They are super!
❤
American watching from the State of Rhode Island in the U.S.-thanks for the interesting post guys-scores of people around the world have wondered endlessly how one person-Hitler-could influence so many people to do so many bad things-myself included-it is beyond impressive however-how shamed and vigilant Germany has been since to not repeat that. Peace guys. 😇
Loved this! I can't wait to visit Berlin 👏👏👏
Interesting video. Thankyou
Amazing video of German History ❤thank you for sharing
My paternal grandmother was a German Jew who managed to escape Nazi Germany for Canada in 1938. Not too sure about how she managed to escape, but I am so thankful she did.
My grandmother was one of the hornets that was falsely accused as a bee during world war 2
By the way excellent video, thanks
Fantastic video!
The BEST channel presenting Germany, this country's people and culture ever!❤

In 2008, my wife, son, and I took a boat ride with my cousins on the river Spree. We saw thousands of bullet holes or indentations.
Alemanizando rocks! We want to see more videos like that!
