Some Images from the excellent Deutsches Technikmuseum, the aircraft are difficult to photograph because of pillars all round them and a glass frontage that casts them all into shadow from certain angles. Still, amazing aircraft.
The building's exterior from the footbridge over the Landwehr Canal. The Dakota is a Berlin Airlift veteran and used to sit outside the terminal at Tempelhof.
Europe 261
A Biber Class kleiner U-boot.
Europe 264
A model of the Deutsches Luftfahrt Sammlung, the Nazis' aviation collection that was bombed in 1943 and burned out. Last time the RAF were allowed there again. Some of the collection was squirrelled away into Poland and survive at the MLP in Cracow. The RAF Museum's DH.9A came from here and was gifted with the Cracow museum for a Spitfire.
Europe 265
The building's frontage; the collection was moved into this purpose built exhibition centre for its grand opening in 1936 to coincide with the XI Olympiade. Note the Spitfire in the foreground. There was a garden out front with captured aircraft within it.
Berlin Tour 15
A then-and-now comparison taken from Alt Moabit next to the Berlin Hauptbahnhof and just across the Spree River from the Reichstag.
Berlin Tour 14
Arado Ar 96.
Europe 266
Nord 1100 Noralpha.
Europe 268
Ju 88G and Fi 156.
Europe 269
Bf 110 and Fw 44.
Europe 270
A slice of the Dornier Do X flying boat that was the centrepiece of the Deutsches Luftfahrt Sammlung, although the hull and sections of the wing survived the fire, its remains were subsequently scrapped.
Europe 271
More to come.
