Having been the original thread starter on this bad boy I was shocked to see this thread back on page one. I must thank everyone who gave me advice back in December. The trip was amazing and I took the advice many of you gave. I quoted the above post as I also found the checkpoint charlie museum one of my favorite spots, the surrounding area is interesting as well. I don't know where you're going on your trip Mayer but I can highly recommend a few places. Berlin was great for WW history and had a pretty nice selection of museums, but my favorite would have been Florence. The war history is not as prevalent in this city but if you enjoy good food, wine, people, scenery, art and atmosphere then do not miss Florence. I planned on staying a half day and didn't leave for almost a week. What an awesome spot! Anyways, good luck on your trip Mayer, hope you have as much fun as I did.
