Overview
**The Battle That Opened the Road to Berlin** On 16 April 1945, Marshal Zhukov launched the largest artillery bombardment in history against German positions 90 minutes east of Berlin. 768,000 Soviet troops. 150,000 Germans. Three days that decided whether Berlin would fall in days or weeks. And almost nobody has heard of it. **The Western Front, You Know. The Eastern Front You Don't.** Most travellers visiting WWII sites know Normandy, the Bulge, the Rhine. The Eastern Front — larger, harder, the war's other half — is rarely walked by English-speaking visitors. Seelow Heights is the closest you can stand to it without leaving Germany. **What You'll Walk** Stand at Marshal Zhukov's command post. Walk the German trenches on the Heights. See the anti-tank ditch at Sachsendorf Trace the Oderbruch "Shooting Gallery". See where a Flak battalion made its last stand. Specialist military historian. Max 7 guests. Featured on National Geographic: "World War II: Secrets from Above"
