Fact is Berlin was pretty much like Central Paris before it was bombed out.
I saw a bunch of B&W documents, dated 1920s, 30s and early 40s.
Building shapes and old urbanity were fine, well aligned, disciplined and decorated, just as the strict Napoleonic bourgeois thing.

Crazy Adolf (who supposedly or basically was a Jewish Austrian or something nuts according to some urban legend here, but I don't really care about silly hearsay, lol) wanted our city destroyed before it was freed from nationalism, but the faithful German governor in charge of the city never obeyed him. He never would burn down the city... That was something sweet of him.

We won't forget about this. I'd rather recall good people, forgetting the useless/bad ones.
