Soviet War Memorial, War memorial in Tiergarten, Germany
The Soviet War Memorial features a central bronze soldier statue standing 12 meters tall with two T-34 tanks and artillery pieces flanking it.
Built in 1945, this memorial marks the final resting place of over 2,000 Soviet soldiers who died during the Battle of Berlin in World War II.
The memorial stones incorporate materials from the destroyed Reich Chancellery, transforming symbols of Nazi power into a monument for Soviet soldiers.
Located near the Brandenburg Gate at Straße des 17 Juni, the memorial grounds remain open throughout the year with no entrance fee required.
Soviet military guards maintained a constant presence at this memorial during the Cold War, despite its location in West Berlin's British sector.
