Question for the historians

Actually, it works very well for the buildings. Many of them are still standing. Regrettably, the park hasn't been restored to the way it looked before it was destroyed 
The problem is much of the battles on the eastern front was undocumented. In some cases its really hard to find any maps or even reference to them.Since most of the German intelligence files was destroyed towards the end of the war.As for the Soviets much is still classified and may never be seen.
I wish you luck with your project ...from the pic you already have and google earth images you might get an idea of the layout of the park. Just use your imagination to fill in the gaps...Being mostly undocumented no one will have the data to prove you wrong
