Berlin. War Memorial on 17 Juni Strasse, a street that bisects the Tiergarten, (allegedly largest urban park in world). Now called 17 Juni Strasse
to commemorate workers strike against East German government in 1953, the road was widened in 1942 to form part of the east-west axis of the planned 'monumental' Berlin. Apparently the Soviets had the memorial built right in the middle of the site planned for Speer's 250,000 seat 'Hall of the People'.
