In this big œuvre he describes a lot of details of Berlin in the time of the fascism, which I used for my explanations being a tour guide in the divided city on the late 80ies. Fantastic how vividly he describes the fighting scenes depicted in the friezes of the Pergamon Altar in the similar named museum on Berlin’s Museum Island! |
