  • Gedenkstaette Seelower Hoehen, Seelow, Brandenburg, Germany
    Here your guide will provide a detailed overview of the Berlin-Seelow offensive operation and highlight key exhibitions, including a 3D model of the Soviet 1st Belorussian Front bunker and trench network which will be visited later in the tour. Guests will be able to explore the museum at their own leisure following the introduction.
    40 minutes
  • Wuhdener Weg 4, 15328 Reitwein, Germany
    After the museum, it is a short drive to the next town of Reitwein. This small and unassuming town played a vital role in the Soviet advance and was the starting point for the 1st Belorussian Front assault on Seelow and the future advance on Berlin. The Soviet’s amassed a force of 768,000 Infantry (including 78,556 soldiers of the Polish 1st Army), 3,059 tanks, 16,934 artillery and mortars as well as 3,279 combat aircraft.
    20 minutes
  • Wuhdener Weg 4, 15328 Reitwein, Germany
    A short walk from the town through the forest the tour will come to the bunker and trench network systems, the remnants of which can still be seen today, including Marshal Zhukov’s command bunker and observation point where he commanded the battle.
    30 minutes
  • Bahnhofstraße 1 A, 15306 Lindendorf, Germany
    Following a small excursion through the trench network the tour will continue to Dolgelin Railway station. It was here that Colonel Scheunemann, commander of the 303rd Infantry Division set up his command post in defence of the heights. Here the tour will take stock of the German defensive positions and highlight the immense difficulties the Russian and Polish troops faced in crossing the aptly named ‘shooting gallery’.
    20 minutes
  • Lietzen N 38, 15306 Lietzen, Germany
    From there the tour begins the journey back to Berlin following the original route of the Soviet advance. Passing through the town of Lietzen, the tour will briefly stop at the German field cemetery. It is of meaningful importance as this site has been significantly extended since Unification, as newly found remains are constantly added to the wartime graves. The town also hosts what is said to be Germany’s oldest barn and a manor house built by the Knights Templar dating back to 1252.
    30 minutes
  • Jahnsfelde, 15374 Müncheberg, Germany
    The final stop at the town of Jahnsfelde underpins the brutality and desperation of the fighting. Showcasing a sports field, the once site of a German field hospital mercilessly attacked by Soviet aircraft targeting the red cross markings and the last stand of the 3rd Battalion of the Artillery Regiment 18. Caught at the crossroads by advancing Soviet armor during the withdrawal, the Battalion hastily set up defensive positions destroying an estimated 100 tanks at the cost of 8 officers, 163 killed, over two-thirds of the battalion wounded, and all guns lost.
    20 minutes

Wonderful tour! Matthew, the tour guide, was very funny and knowledgeable. At each stop, a complete timeline was explained to help understand the events that took place during this battle. The restaurant that we stopped at for lunch was amazing! Would recommend this tour.

Very amazing tour. Only 1,5h and you are in a beautiful landscape. Difficult to imagine the dark past of 1945. One of the most bloody battles of WWII - the last resist of Germany towards beeing occupied by the Red Army. You also learn about all the fails in that war - on both sides. We all went home full of impressions. Matt is an expert and knows how to transfer his knowledge also to less professional people.
