Ik ben gek op het bezoeken van locaties die met de 2e wereldoorlog te maken hebben. En zeker als deze in of rond de Duitse hoofdstad Berlijn te vinden zijn. Maar op deze locatie ben ik nog nooit eerder geweest, ondanks dat hier 1 van de grootste en belangrijkste veldslagen van het einde van de oorlog plaatsgevonden hebben.
Meer info over deze veldslag: https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slag_om_de_Seelower_H%C3%B6hen
But before we arrived at the memorial, we stopped at the Aussichtspunkt “Oderbruch Blick ins Land” to take pictures of the statues there. pic.twitter.com/YUHLiJ46bK

We walked into Seelow to have some coffee and warm up a bit. In the middle of the city, we found a vacuum cleaner.

We are still trying to figure out why it’s there. pic.twitter.com/o66Eedu6Gr
The most exciting element for us there was this statue of a Soviet soldier on top of a destroyed German tank. pic.twitter.com/nEcqyU39L6

The Soviet soldier statue is the central piece in this memorial, designed by the same architects that did the Soviet Memorial in Tiergarten. pic.twitter.com/GROYDJYxt9

Even though it was really windy, we managed to fly our drone around the statue and take some pictures from the top. pic.twitter.com/ThDpIcm2u5

On our way home, we stopped in Frankfurt Oder and crossed to Poland for some shopping.

The light from the sunset was gorgeous around there. pic.twitter.com/Zfejph6Zcn
