German-Russian Museum in Berlin-Karlshorst. This is where, on May 9, 1945, the surrender of the Third Reich to the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and the Soviet Union was signed. The signing room appears intact: sober tables, simple blue tablecloths each decorated with four small flags, and, displayed in metal cases, the yellowed pages of the surrender that put an end to one of history’s most abominable and massive crimes: the Second World War.
