🤓Send this to someone who is nerdy (I.e. cool!) enough to go on historical road trips with you.

🛑This is what's left of Hi**er's Wolf's Lair (Wolfsschanze)- his main headquarters for WWII.

🙋I'm Tina, a history nerd and Berlin tour guide and I travelled 750kms east to see this absurd amount of moss-covered concrete. We had an excellent local guide, Jadwiga, who was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the complex and its role in the Second World War. If anyone would like to be connected with Jadwiga, please PM me.

🇵🇱The Wolf's Lair is in Northeastern Poland near Kętrzyn, only 40kms from the Russian border. During WWII, this region was the German province of East Prussia.

🗓️Hi**er arrived here on June 24th, 2 days after the invasion of the Soviet Union.

🪖He was planning to stay just a few weeks as his armies rapidly moved East.

⬛But as N**i Germany's terrible war of annihilation against the Soviet Union didn't go as planned, Hi**er ended up spending 830 days here, most of the last 4 years of his life.

🚧It was progressively fortified, eventually having over 50 bunkers.

🪨The concrete of Hi**er's own was 8m thick.

🧨He left the Wolf's Lair in November 1944. The complex was blown up, using thousands of tons of explosives, in January 1945, with the Soviet Red Army reaching it only a couple of days later.

✈️The complex was never bombed from the air by the allies.

📷Nearby were also separate bunker complexes for Himmler and the army high command. I also tracked them down on my trip- stay tuned for more videos about these locations and the assassination attempt against Hi**er which happened at the Wolf's Lair.

November 9 is called "Schicksalstag" in Germany, which means "Day of Fate" or "Day of Destiny".

That's because 5 major historical events happened on November 9th:

✊ 1848: Revolutionary Robert Blum is executed, crushing early democratic hopes.
👑 1918: The "November Revolution": the Kaiser (Emperor) was forced to abdicate and Germany was declared a Republic.
🛑 1923: Hi**er’s B**r Hall Putsch failed in Munich. This was an attempted coup against the Weimar Republic.
💔 1938: Reichspogromnacht, also known as Kristallnacht (Crystal Night). The N**i regime launched violent, antisemitic pogroms. They burned synagogues, trashed Jewish homes and businesses, beat and humiliated Jewish people in the streets and sent Jewish men of working age to the concentration camps.
🎆 1989: The Berlin Wall fell! Freedom of movement was reinstated for Germans both in East and West after 28 years.

I'm Tina, your historical and cultural guide in Berlin!

A brunch in Berlin that lives up to the hype:
BENEDICT BERLIN

They have 2 locations: one in Charlottenburg and another Prenzlauer Berg.

Not only do they do epic all-day breakfasts but they also offer cocktail happy hours/ bottomless mimosa options 🍹🔥

The digitalisation of Germany is doing best in the tree department 😂

If you've taken a walk through one of Berlin's parks, you might have noticed that every tree has a number.

Berlin tracks over 900,000 trees in a massive digital database to monitor their exact coordinates, species, age, and health.

Naturally, the German language has a specific word for this tree registry: Baumkataster.

This video was taken driving through the Tiergarten Park.

The words "hidden" and "secret" are severely overused on social media but this time it's justified!

Did you know that you can see ruins of medieval Berlin for free from a hotel's lobby?!

During the construction of this hotel around 2010, these remains of medieval Berlin were found.

Actually, this wasn't Berlin 850 years ago but rather its twin city of Cölln. Berlin and Cölln permanently merged in 1710 under Frederick the 1st King in Prussia. These ruins are a mix of residential cellars, a cobblestone courtyard and a well from Cölln's town centre.

You can see the ruins for free by popping into the reception of the Capri by Fraser Berlin apartments just a 10 minute walk from the heart of Museum Island.

P.s. if you want more of Berlin's medieval story, check the PETRI Berlin Archaeological House next door!

Looking for live music in Berlin? Wednesday night jazz at Zosch is good for the soul!

Zosch Bar in Mitte is a good, old fashioned Kneipe (pub) somehow holding onto life in rapidly gentrifying Mitte.

They have New Orleans Jazz nearly every Wednesday night.

Arrive early to get a table- last time we got there at 7pm and had our pick of tables but the music didn't start until 8:30pm. By then it was full and by 9pm, people had to leave without getting a seat. It's not possible to reserve a table in advance.

Entry is free but donating to the musicians is also good for the soul!

I'm Tina, a professional Berlin tour guide. My work is mostly focused on connecting visitors with the city's history, but I also try to be everyone's go-to-girl with the best tips for how to generally get the best out of Berlin!

One of the best bits of the job as a Berlin tour guide?

The colleagues ❤️❤️

P.S. You've never heard anything louder than a bunch of tour guides.

Do I miss Australia? Yes, of course.

But one of the things that I love about living in Berlin is having four, distinct seasons.

The autumn colours are still magical to me, even after nearly a decade of living here.

I also love the feeling of everyone slowing down after the excitement and activity of the summer season.

Suddenly, there's this delicious "Gemütlichkeit" or cosiness and the city snuggles into it.
