This was the most inspiring place we visited in Berlin. The true stories of courage and conviction were powerful. People in all walks of life risked everything to oppose Hitler. Most were executed. Be sure to learn about the White Rose Society, the college students who resisted and paid with their lives.

This is an exceptional museum! Some people have reported that there is not much information in English, but actually all of the cards and museum "info" is translated into English. Original documents (letters, newspapers, etc.) are not translated, but all the stories are. It is incredibly informative, and I think you need to plan for 2 hours at least. I did not budget enough time here, so I am left to do research on my own, but it really provides a good story of the German people who were against Hitler from the beginning. This is a side of the story that we don't hear enough about. And it wasn't just organizations, but average people who knew something wasn't right and tried to do something about it at great personal risk and cost.

Very interesting museum with brilliant explanations in English of the various attempts to topple Hitler. Most people were caught and executed. This museum is the location of the German army headquarters and top German officials based here were planning a coup which failed and they were caught and executed in the courtyard. Full story explained in detail with many photographs. Nice memorial to keep these stories alive and to pay tribute to these heroes who resisted Nazi rule.

This is the site where Operation Valkyrie conspirator Claus von Stauffenberg was executed among others. During WW2, this building served as the Supreme Headquarters of the Army. Today, it is not only a memorial, but there is a VERY well done museum too. The layout of the museum is superb with a ton of exhibits and artifacts. I highly recommend visiting both the courtyard memorial and the museum that is housed inside the building. Getting there is about a 10 minute car ride or 25 minute walk from the Brandenburg Gate.
