About this trip

For students studying the impact of National Socialism on the German people there is no better venue than Hitler’s capital, Berlin - and no better way to see the city than on an Anglia trip to Berlin. Period architecture is still visible, from the former Air Ministry on Wilhelmstrasse to the impressive 1936 Olympic stadium, and with this backdrop your expert guide will bring alive the stories of those who lived under this cruel and oppressive regime.

At the brilliant Topography of Terror museum your students will learn how the Nazis controlled their own people through fear and terror, whilst the centerpiece of any tour of Berlin will be a half-day visit to the former Concentration Camp Sachsenhausen, where your guide will explore the reality of living under Nazi rule.

If your focus is resistance to the Nazis, a visit to the recently refurbished ‘Bendlerblock’, site of von Stauffenberg’s execution and a comprehensive permanent exhibition of resistance to Nazism, is an absolute must, whilst a walking tour of the city centre will include visits to memorials of several groups of victims of the Nazis.

Why choose Anglia for Guided History Trips?

At Anglia we care about our customers, our staff, the places we visit, the stories we tell and the organisations we work with. These key principles define who we are and what we do. We believe they are also the reason why Anglia is the market leader in fully-guided history trips for UK schools. We work with you to design a bespoke tour which meets the specific needs of your school and which supports what you are teaching in class. We start by asking what you want your students to see and what you want them to experience then build the tour around these requirements. A tour which, as the testimonials on our website show, your students will find thought-provoking, engaging and enjoyable.

Please can you pass on my thanks to both John and Sean who did a fantastic job as our guides on Friday. They were engaging and exceptionally knowledgeable which was noted by both staff and pupils. I would thoroughly recommend you as a tour provider, and hope to use you guys again in the future!

We definitely will be looking to re-book with you for next academic year
