There is an interesting story about that monument.

My Father lived to be 90 but his last year was in a nursing home. At times he would be fairly normal and at other times he did not recognize his children.

Thinking it might jog his memory, I brought a bunch of his WWII pictures and was showing them to him. When he saw that tank he definitely seemed to have a lucid moment. He sort of laughed and said that it was blown up by the combat engineers.

Of course that might not mean a thing and I had never heard him say that before.

“He sort of laughed and said that it was blown up by the combat engineers.”

When was he in Berlin?
