Berlin World War II Historical Exploration Tour

Most WWII tours show you the surface. This one takes you underground — literally and figuratively.
Led by a passionate historian, this private tour peels back the layers of Berlin to reveal the forgotten scars of the Third Reich: hidden bunkers, execution sites, Nazi prisons, and silent remnants of megalomania. You’ll walk through a flak tower that once defended the city from Allied bombers, stand in the courtyard where resisters were executed, and visit the very room where Nazi Germany surrendered in 1945.

What makes this tour truly different isn’t just where we go — it’s how we go. With group sizes kept small, you’ll have space for questions, reflection, and meaningful conversation. This is history brought to life with emotional depth and historical integrity.

You won’t just see Berlin. You’ll feel it — its trauma, its resilience, and the weight of what happened here.

If you’ve ever felt that other WWII tours don’t go deep enough, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.

Duration: 5 hours

Humboldthain Flak Tower

Volkspark Humboldthain, Berlin, 13355

Begin your journey at one of Berlin’s most dramatic WWII remnants — the towering concrete ruins of the Humboldthain Flak Tower. Built in 1940 by Hitler’s orders, these enormous anti-aircraft defences protected Berlin’s war industry and sheltered civilians during Allied air raids. Now half-buried in a city park, the tower offers panoramic views and a haunting look at Berlin's militarised past. This is where WWII air defence history becomes real.

30 minutes

Gedenkort Güterbahnhof Moabit

neben, Ellen-Epstein-Straße 1, 10559 Berlin, Germany

Tucked away in a quiet corner of Berlin lies one of its most tragic secrets: the site from which over 30,000 Berlin Jews were deported to ghettos and extermination camps between 1942 and 1944. At the former Moabit freight station, you’ll walk among the haunting memorial grove “Hain” and learn how these ordinary-looking tracks became part of the Nazi regime’s machinery of genocide.

30 minutes

Plotzensee Memorial Center

Huttigpfad, Berlin, 13627

A chilling reminder of what happened to those who resisted. At Plötzensee Prison, over 2,800 political prisoners were executed by hanging or guillotine — many of them members of the German resistance, including the July 20 Plot to kill Hitler. The memorial here is stark and sobering. You’ll walk through the execution courtyard and hear stories of defiance, sacrifice, and brutal Nazi repression.

1 hour

Schwerbelastungskorper

General-Pape-Str. 34a, Berlin, 12101

Visit the strangest Nazi relic in Berlin — a 12,650-ton concrete cylinder built to test whether the city’s ground could support Hitler’s dream of a colossal mega-capital. Known as the Schwerbelastungskörper (“Heavy Load-Bearing Body”), this bizarre monument to megalomania is a physical reminder of Nazi architectural ambition — and delusion. Few tourists ever see it.

Pass by without stopping

Gedenkort SA-GEFANGNIS Papestrasse

Werner-Voss-Damm 54A, Berlin, 12101

Step into the preserved cells of a Nazi torture prison, hidden beneath a former barracks in Tempelhof. Operated by the SA in 1933, this site held hundreds of political opponents in the months following Hitler’s rise to power. Original graffiti from prisoners still remains. It’s a raw and powerful site — one of Berlin’s most authentic and least-known Third Reich locations.

30 minutes

Memorial Köpenicker Bloody Week

Puchanstraße 12, 12555 Berlin, Germany

While passing through the district of Köpenick, you’ll hear the harrowing account of a little-known 1933 purge where Nazi paramilitaries arrested, tortured, and murdered dozens of Jews and political dissidents. This stop gives essential context for how Nazi violence escalated so rapidly in the early months of the regime.

1 hour

Museum Berlin-Karlshorst

Zwieseler Str. 4, 10318 Berlin, Germany

End the tour at the place where Nazi Germany officially surrendered on May 8, 1945. Inside the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, you’ll stand in the very room where the surrender was signed, marking the end of WWII in Europe. This powerful location offers an opportunity to reflect on the full arc of the war — from totalitarian rise to total defeat.
