Berlin Bike Private Tour: Third Reich and Nazi Germany
How could the Germans allow Hitler's rise to power? Who, if anyone, stood in his way? What was known of the extent of the Holocaust, and what was done against the persecution of the Jews and others? What was life in Berlin like during the Third Reich and during the bombing of World War II? What happened in Berlin once the Soviets defeated the Nazis? Find out on this fascinating Berlin Bike Tour.
Over the course of this 6-hour tour, we will explain the history of WWII, going all the way back to Prussia and the German Empire. You will be able to see the remnants of the war, explore various significant historical sites, and learn about the history of the Nazi regime like never before. We like to stop at our favorite local beer garden in the middle of the tour to give everyone a chance to ask questions and to get to know one another. It's a great tour for learning about and experiencing Berlin from a historical perspective.
