Berlin was the dark heart of Nazi Germany – the capital city of a dictatorship that was responsible for waging a war that destroyed swathes of the European continent and industrially murdering millions.
Why did the Germans think they needed Adolf Hitler in 1933? How could a civilised people fall so deep into the moral abyss? Why were Jewish and other minority groups, both in Germany and across Europe, ruthlessly targeted? What is the legacy of Nazism in Germany today?
This tour answers such questions, giving crucial context regarding the rise of Adolf Hitler in pre-Nazi Germany, providing a comprehensive overview of the National Socialist capital, and telling the dramatic tale of the Battle of Berlin and the collapse of the regime in 1945.
