History has indelibly imprinted itself onto the cityscape of Berlin - the period of the Nazi regime in particular. The many raids and the destruction wrought during the final Battle of Berlin have left their traces, as have the Nazis` megalomaniac restructuring plans to transform Berlin into the future world metropolis "Germania". Maik Kopleck's PASTFINDER takes you to the well-known and lesser known sites of Nazi history in Berlin. It gives a concise account of the historic events and introduces the most important personalities. Several maps and a clear graphic design let you put together your own sightseeing tour and provide quick orientation at each location.
