How Enemies Became Friends

You will get to know the most interesting exhibits from 50 years of Allied presence in Berlin.

The Cold War in Germany reached its first climax with the Soviet blockade of Berlin and the airlift by the Western powers in 1948/49. A tour of the British transport aircraft Hastings TG 503 on the open-air grounds of the Allied Museum illustrates the unique history of the airlift.

The second part of the permanent exhibition in the Nicholson Memorial Library documents not only everyday life in the military communities of the Americans, British and French until 1994, but also the explosive work of their secret services in Cold War Berlin. A highlight of the tour is the American-British spy tunnel from 1955/56.

Please note that the Outpost building with the history 1945-1950 is currently closed.

The tour is free of charge. Please register in advance at booking@alliiertenmuseum.de or (030)81 81 99 96.
