These next days mark the anniversary of the ending of Worl War ll.
In Reims on May 7, 1945 Jodl signed the surrender declaration and on May 8 at Karlshorst Keitel signed the surrender terms. Among those present in Karlshorst was General Marshal Georgii Zhukov.
Karlshorst lies between Berlin Schönefeld and city centre. It is served by trains between the airport and Berlin. It is well worth a visit.
Before the fall of the Berlin Wall it was managed and guarded by the Red Army.
Today the museum is under the care of the Federal German authorities and is regularly visited by Bundeswehr troops.
The seating arrangement in the museum is exactly as it was on May 8, 1945.
There is an irony about Karlshorst.
