About this experience
On 16 April 1945, participants will explore the site of the largest artillery bombardment in history, where 768,000 Soviet troops faced off against 150,000 Germans just 90 minutes east of Berlin. This three-day battle was pivotal in determining the timeline for the fall of Berlin. The experience is designed for those interested in lesser-known WWII sites, particularly the Eastern Front, which sees fewer English-speaking visitors compared to more famous locations like Normandy. The tour includes visits to significant locations such as Marshal Zhukov's command post, the German trenches on the Heights, the anti-tank ditch at Sachsendorf, the Oderbruch
