Memorial of the German Resistance




I visted as well the Memorial of the German Resistance (german: Gedenkstätte Deutscher Widerstand) at the so called Bendlerblock. Nowadays and during the Nazi-Regime it was/is the Ministry of Defense.
At the pictures you can see the place were Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, Ludwig Beck, Friedrich Olbricht, Albrecht Ritter Mertz von Quirnheim and Werner von Haeften were executed after the failed assassination of Hitler on 20th July 1944 at the Führer Headquarter Wolf's Lair (german: Führer Hauptquartier Wolfsschanze).
After that visit I was really very oppressed. The problem nowadays is if a german or an austrian something is saying about the problems we have in our countries with some foreigners people are calling us Nazis - but I didn't live at that time!
For example at the airport we have most of the time problems with blacks because they always have a lot of luggage and then they have to pay for the overweight like all other passengers as well - we don't care if somebody is black or white or chinese or US-american or european or what else - in that case is just the weight of the bag important. But if you tell them they have to pay for the overweight they always, always, always call us Racists and Nazis!
