:22:01
The word got out it was Hitler
who threw the match.
:22:03
They used to say it's the first time in history
a man gave himself the hotfoot.
:22:13
The Brandenburg Gate, an arch of triumph
until they got out of the habit.
:22:18
That rubble heap over there
was the American embassy.
:22:21
You can't tell now but this spot
was once the heart of Europe.
:22:24
The street is the famous Unter den Linden,
:22:27
named after the linden trees,
which they've replanted now.
:22:30
That pile of stone over there
was the Adlon Hotel,
:22:33
just after the 8th Air Force
checked in for the weekend.
:22:37
Now, let's look at the Wilhelmstraße.
:22:41
Here's the Reich Chancellery where
the Führer fixed himself up a duplex.
:22:45
As it turned out, one part got to be a big
padded cell and the other a mortuary.
:22:49
Underneath is a concrete basement,
:22:51
where he married Eva Braun
and where they killed themselves.
:22:54
A lot of people say it was
the perfect honeymoon.
:22:59
Over there is the balcony where he bet
his Reich would last a thousand years.
:23:03
That's the one that broke
the bookies' hearts.
:23:09
This is the Tiergarten,
used to be the Central Park of Berlin.
:23:13
Those two big cement things are
the zoo bunkers, enormous pillboxes.
:23:18
They were the last two buildings
in Berlin to surrender.
:23:41
I thought you'd be interested
in a typical Berlin residential area.
:23:45
If you look hard,
you'll see the houses are empty shells,
:23:48
completely burned out by incendiaries.
:23:51
Life goes on in those ruins, though.
