Berlin recent comments:

Now renamed "Vera-Brittain-Ufer" in memory of the renowned British author and pacifist.

worked there 1959 to 1962 and on duty when the wall went up--loved the work --loved the excitement--these were OUR days---------yes tunnel in warehouse!

Does anyone on here know if the brigade hq in Berlin is still standing and open to visitors. I was stationed there working with brixmis in the 70's and I'm going back to visit in Feb .

Yes- I was there as well- with Tom and Candy from 69 to 72!

Hi I'm liven in Hanover I don't know how to contact with jahova witness my number is 015154111417

Andy Cleeve, I was there as an extra, when they filmed in a local school where Senta Berger played the part of a teacher, great fun, great meals and we got paid, Ive seen the movie umpteen times and Im in two scenes, one where Im running down the stairs inside the school and another where Im playing on the entrance steps as George Segal and Senta Berger leave the school, Im wearing a stripped jumper and shorts!

What a really neat old monument with so much going on- - a real shame that it probably will not be restored at some future date

are the flats above still rented out? i lived right above you in the mid 80's when it was a mobel shop ligne roset or mobel hubner ???it was a great flat!

Geoff Bassett. I was stationed at Monty Bks 89-92 with 1 RWF, sadly the last British army unit to serve there. My wife, , daughterand I lived in the quarters just outside the main gate. Have been back twice to Berlin, , great memories of a great time.

Hi Colin, i was there in 75 with 1 Para,my wife and i actually lived in block 7 which was the nearest married quarters to the pig farm. We could see the wall at the end of the pig farm buildings from our window and many times gunfire in the night as there was a tower just the other side. I loved Berlin and i am planning to go back soon for the first time and it would be great if i could actually get into have a look around the old place. All the best Bill

Worked there 1970-72 hit a few golf balls at east German tower until they pointed a BIG rifle at me. It was a great time. Tom Cook

Look at the fence - distinctive wrought iron design - is it not the next house?

Hitler's bunker was made less than easily accessible due to the "religious" nature of the site. The powers which were landlords in Axis areas after the spring of 1945 were dealing with a religious cult in Japan and also Axis areas of Europe. Amongst other things, Hitler and Mussolini were charismatic priest-figures. It was very important to eliminate the Himmler/Hitler religion, and therefore many sites were severely destroyed and molested.

Remember Gatow school with great memories: I was at this school when the film, The Quiller Memorandum was filmed with George Segal and Senta Berga.....met the stars, and was in one of the scenes. My memories of Berlin, and my time there, still remain with me.

Yeah, I was there 73/74 I was one of the C coy clerks originally was in 33 plt, do you remember chalkie white (pete)

Excellent news Carl! Some lucky archaeologist will have the pleasure of rediscovering it at some future date. Rather like unearthing Nero's fabled Domus Aurea.

Symbol of West Berlin.

I served with the East Yorkshire Regiment in Kladow 1952, many guard duties, used to tune in to the AFN network on Sundays and ' G. I.' Jo Stafford was the love in my heart, the radio was rented to four of us for twenty cig's a week (5 each). Ich bin ein Berliner...pte.don bullock
