    What To Expect

    Halbe Kaiserbahnhof

    The Battle of Halbe occurred in the town of Halbe, 60 km south of Berlin, on April 24th and 28th, 1945. On April 24, the left flank of the 1st Belorussian Front and the right flank of the 1st Ukrainian Front closed the ring around the German 9th Army, followed by multiple efforts to break out against the Soviet soldiers parallel to the Battle of Berlin. On April 27, Soviet troops cornered barely able-to-fight German troops and civilians fleeing west in a small forest between Märkisch Buchholz and Halbe. The 12th Army's rescue attack from south of Potsdam on April 29th and 30th allowed considerable portions to escape westward via Kummersdorf-Gut to Beelitz and reach the German front on May 1st. The rest where slaughtered in the forests.

    Bucher- und Bunkerstadt Wunsdorf

    Built in the late 1930s near Wünsdorf, Brandenburg, the Wünsdorf Zeppelin bunker served as a communications hub for the German Wehrmacht and later the Soviet Forces in Germany. Constructed between 1937-1939, this bunker featured a two-story building and a three-story extension, connected to the Maybach I bunker complex. It played a crucial role during WWII as a key telecommunications node. Post-war, it was used by the Soviet Forces, undergoing renovations to withstand nuclear impacts and serving as a command post and intelligence center. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1994, the site underwent redevelopment, including a museum opened in 2009 to showcase its historical significance.
