Woow, gracias por compartir esto @vijaih me ha servido mucho tu publicación 😅 ya que hace algunos años tuve la fortuna de estar en Berlin y por la ubicación estaba casi seguro de haber pasado por ahí. 
Me puse a buscar en mis fotos y me encontré esta foto

Pero la verdad la tomé solo porque se me hizo bonito el monumento pero nunca busqué información acerca de esta. Ahora con tu publicación, despues de cuatro años me doy cuenta que si tiene una gran importancia 🤣.
Gracias jaja, saludos.

Not so fun fact: The Victory Column was first situated in front of the Reichstag but moved to its current location by Hitler's orders because he thought it would look better there. Also he considered the column too small so he had one more barrel added which has no meaning.
