Вот какую статью 30 апреля 2015 года опубликовал заподноевропейское издание DailyMail под заголовком- Как Берлин восстал из пепла: Удивительные фотографии сравнения показывают, как Красная Армия неистовствовала в немецкой столице в 1945 году - и как эти же места выглядят сегодня
За корявый перевод извиняюсь, поэтому дальше оригинал.

Red Army soldiers man artillery (above) as they storm through a devastated Berlin in May 1945, just days after Hitler's death. 70 years later and a gym (below) has replaced the rubble


The crumbling remains of the New Reich Chancellery - the offices of Adolf Hitler - are seen in 1945 (above). The building was almost completely destroyed in the Battle of Berlin, and was eventually cleared and knocked down. The street is now lined with offices and a hotel (below)


A Red Army officer points to the sign outside Hitler's main office (left). Standing in the sign's place today is a pre-school (right), with paintings by children seen in the window


Soviet soldiers smile for the camera (above) as they march past the Reichstag in Berlin after the Germans surrendered. The building (below) still remains some 70 years later and is visited by millions every year


A Soviet vehicle (above) is parked next to the rubble of a row of buildings on Gruenburger Strasse. Some 70 years later a Volkswagen van (below) sits on the street, which is now bustling with shops and cafes
