ETERNAL GLORY
TO HEROES
WHO FELL IN THE
STRUGGLE AGAINST
THE GERMAN
FASCIST INVADERS
FOR THE FREEDOM
AND INDEPENDENCE
OF THE SOVIET UNION

In Berlin's centre, at the Straße des 17. Juni, near Reichstagsgebäude (federal parliament) and Brandenburger Tor, one finds this monument for the thousands of Soviet soldiers, wo died in the war against Nazi Germany. The irony of history: Hitler had plans of building a victory monument from this very same marble (according to an information board).
