http://berlin.inyourpocket.com In Your Pocket travel writer Andrew Quested at the Topography of Terror, the temporary exhibition set up at the site of the former Gestapo headquarters in Berlin. Grab the free audioguide from the trailer and begin your walk among the cellar remains of the Main Reich Security (SS) Office. It could take over an hour, but this might be the best place for a cram session about the Byzantine organization of Third Reich police, military, and security groups. There seemed to be no shortage of people willing to serve in the name of oppression. This area once full of Nazi administrative offices was bombed to bits in World War II. Bordering what remains a wasteland is a souvenir-ravaged stretch of the Wall. More info here: http://berlin.inyourpocket.com/sightseeing/thirdreich/venue/23096-topography_of_terror.html

The Germans have a problem with their own history – I'm not talking about Germanic tribes but about what they did 80 years ago in Poland ( 6 milions victim's) .
There is national amnesia in Germany – always after the wars and conflicts that they caused in Europe. The new generation is always cutting off from the previous one – that's how it lasts for 1000 years in relation Poles – Germans. How is it possible that you can be responsible for dozens of wars and maybe hundreds and do not know who you are ???.
Most Germans do not know what they did only 80 years ago in Poland – how to explain it ?! .
What is worse, they do not understand today what Polish neighbors say when they talk about their own tragedy as victims of the German invasion.
Germans can use brains to make good cars but don't use brains to learn their own history?! .
Other important think : They are responsible for the attack on the Russians and bringing communism to Eastern Europe. Never, never Germany were no victims!!! of the Nazis from space – they created them and voted giving them strength!
Yes, Germany is bloody "Mongols and Russians" of Western Europe.
Remember this and don't learn history from the Germans – it's a mistake !!!. What will you find out ?: that the Germans sat behind the Wall, that they were victims of the Nazis from space, that the Western coalition bombed them, that the Russians attacked them, …. propaganda !!!!!
