This is the picture I took of Michael Rasmussen
while he was riding the Prologue in London on 7 July.

Berlin

Mauer



















In 1945 this was the location of the Reich Chancellery
garden. On 30 April, roughly where the arrow is on
the picture, was the bomb crater in which the bodies
of Adolf and Eva Hitler were burned by Otto
Gunsche, Hitlers aide (just after he had stolen his dead
boss's watch). After Hitler's body was discovered by
the Russian's it was buried several times in different
locations. In 1970 it was dug up from it's final location
in Magdenburg by the "KGB" and fully destroyed.
According to one writer the ashes then ended up in the
Magdenburg sewage system, which seams like a very
appropriate resting place for the remains of the person
responsible for the deaths of an estimated 72 million
people during World War two.

Insider tours does a very interesting Third Reich tour,
that we did and I can strongly recommend for anyone
visiting Berlin and interested in the subject.

This is the bookshop that the ex Stasi officer visits
at the end of the German film, Das Leben der
Anderen (The lives of others).
