The Memorial Point Alpha used to be an important observation post in the period of the cold war. Today the historical site and its components are authentic credentials that serve to inform the visitors about the former border between east and west. In addition to the remains, a newly renovated museum covers the historical context and depicts the impacts the repressive system of the GDR had on the population close to the life-threatening border.

Great indoor and outdoor museum/memorial that is a little tricky to get to (signage is confusing, and we do speak German). A modern and thorough museum at one end, in English and German; and a half-mile walk along a reconstructed "border" leads to a memorial and also a preserved U.S. watchpost called "Observation Post Alpha." Fascinating and informative site of the not-too-distant past.

One gets an impression of what life was like in a submarine of World War II. A very nice compliment to the Navy Memorial.

The largest collection of war technology I’ve seen, much better and bigger than, for example, the Saigon war museum. Reserve enough time and don’t go hungry or thirsty - there are no services or cafe.

The Bayerisches Armeemuseum comprises three museums. The Bayerisches Polizeimuseum in Turm Trivia (1841), the Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Neues Schloss (1490) and the Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs in Reduit Tilly (1841). The review is about the latter. The Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs provides a critical and historically accurate reflection on German military confrontations in WW1 and the role of the army and the impact of the Great War on people, society and government. The Bavarian Army museum is one of the largest museums of military history in Europe. Is an impressive museum of history with a focus on Bavaria in its European context and cover the period from the late Middle Ages to the present day. The Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs provides excellent information and it will take you awhile to get through. You can here easily spend over 3 to 4 hours. Highly recommended.

The Military History Museum in Dresden consists of two parts: an arsenal that was built in 1877 and a new extension designed by U.S. architect Daniel Libeskind and completed in 2011. Shaped like a wedge, the extension cuts through the old arsenal. The light and shadow effects produced by the new wedge symbolise the eventful military history of Germany. Both the architecture and the permanent exhibition of the Military History Museum seek to avoid biased presentations and to challenge traditional perspectives. The exhibition confronts the visitor with his or her own potential for aggression and shows violence as a historical, cultural, and anthropological phenomenon.

This is one amazing museum. Without glorifying war, they have done a phenomenal job of presenting ten centuries of armed warfare on the European continent. They have an staggering collection of armaments, uniforms, and implements. The site is on a hill overlooking the city, so you'll have an incredible view of Dresden from here. Certainly one of Europe's best military museums!
