The German History Museum
is not a military museum as such but a museum on the general and
social history of Germany from pre-Roman times to the Fall of the
Berlin Wall. Of course any history of Germany would be
incomplete without a display on Germany's short lived colonies.
The museum is housed in
the former arsenal, the Zeughaus on Unter den Linden. The whole area
is steeped in German history. An assassination attempt was made on
Adolf Hitler in the courtyard of the museum, a statue of Frederick
the Great of Prussia stands outside and the famous Brandenburg Gate
and German Reichstag are just down
the street.
