Look at this! Do you still recognise me? Yeah, it’s me: Berlin! That’s how I look in 1945, after the Second World War. The British Captain Cecil Newman took these photos. I know what you’re thinking: There’s not much left of me, you’re right. The streets are in ruins, a third of all houses destroyed. With all the rubble I could built a wall from here to Paris! I tell’ya, this war was horrible. I lost half my people. Some escaped, but many were killed. It only ended when the Nazis surrendered. That I would ever be rebuilt and look like myself again, I hardly thought it possible!
