Soviet Memorial
The Soviet Memorial, Treptower Park, Berlin. (Sowjetiches Ehrenmal). A vast war memorial and military cemetery. It was built to the design of the Soviet architect Yakov Belopolsky to commemorate 7,000 of the 80,000 Soviet soldiers who fell in the Battle of Berlin during April–May 1945. Completed in 1949.
The portal consists of a pair of stylized Soviet flags built of red granite, flanked by two statues of kneeling soldiers. Best expanded so you can see how it dwarfs the people visiting.
