You're standing at the Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, in the east of Berlin. Take a moment here, because this is the building where the Second World War in Europe came to an end. On 8 May 1945, the German armed forces ratified their unconditional surrender right here. The surrender had been signed the day before in Rheims, but it was here in Karlshorst that it became final.
