This bronze eagle was placed over the Reich's chancellory in Berlin. It was a symbol of Hitler's strength.
Outside the museum is a fragment of the Berlin Wall that someone saved (graffiti and all).
It was interesting to read about the British General Montgomery in the exhibits. I was not familiar with him. His campaigns in Egypt against the Germans and Italians during World War 2 were successful. He was concerned about his troops getting a proper English breakfast. That breakfast got the nickname "the full Monty". Now you know where that expression comes from!
Later this summer I would like to return to this museum to see the section on World War 1.
