I've got an excellent panoramic print of the Brandenburg Gate depicting it just after the battle, based on photos taken of it. Unfortunately there are no Tiger wrecks in it, just a lot of trucks and cars. I believe the last stand of the Tigers was a short ways away in the Tiergarten, well within the area of a map, though. If I can find a scanner I'll upload it.

hehe yes i know that but i think the next berlin battle must have new tanks su152 also for ruskies. konigsplatz was too small for a good tank battle this looks more open http://www.smart-travel-germany.com/...1969_large.jpg

Just to point out, the photos that show the Brandenburg Gate all alone in the middle of a wide open area were taken during the Cold War, when it was located in the middle of the no-man's-land. Before the end of the war it was surrounded by several buildings on both sides, including the Adler Hotel (used as a field hospital). Most of the buildings have been rebuilt now, including the hotel. I was actually thinking about how it would make a great map when I visited it over the summer

that looks cool it most have king tigers and new russain tanks, it most not end up a konigsplatz 2. this map will be a fine map for tanks and infantry well done sixpakken you have bought an idea to life ;-)

[sixpakken]

Thx.. still looking for more photos from houses around the gate at that time.

And I really need some info about how,when, where, what tanks, what battel that took place here.
I try 2 make the map look like this




karl stiner :
What do u mean with "it most not end up a konigsplatz 2." ?

Nice job on the statue on top, but your gate looks a little too short, deep and wide. It could just be the angle though. Here's a frontal shot to get the proportions right:
