24. Reichstag, Hitler's Bunker, Holocaust Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie - and a mall

Near the Brandenburg Gate is the Reichstag, the German parliament.  I am so used to seeing the images of it in 1945.

It is nothing like that now.
 A car park now stands where Hitler's bunker one was.  Dare I say that he suffered the same fate as Richard III (by ending up under a car-park), but Hitler is unlikely to be re-interred in future.

Checkpoint Charlie is still there, with plenty of Americans posing for pictures.

Modern Berlin - we headed for this huge (and warm) shopping mall.
