Amazing images as always. Going a few posts back, the tank in Berlin is no longer there - sadly. The Soviets had little memorials to different things all round the city and most are gone, although the Soviet War Memorial at Treptower Park still exists, with its pillars of Carrara marble robbed from the ruins of Hitlers Chancellery. If the tank is the same as the one I'm thinking of, after re-unification, a graffiti artist painted it and used it in an art installation and then I think, it was scrapped. There is a T-34 and a few other things at Karlshorst, where the 'official' surrender of the German army took place on 8 May 1945. The building is now a museum and has artefacts from the Soviet occupation in it. The T-34 is mounted on a plinth with Russian writing - it might be the same one, but I'm not sure; I'll have to dig out my Berlin photos to have a look.
I wonder who the chap is behind him? Is it Lindemann?
