Berlin's Lustgarten after the conquest of the city. Remains of a war booty exhibition can be seen, featuring two artillery pieces (one French and the other Soviet) and behind them a British WWI tank, most likely one of the two tanks that were placed in front of the Smolensk cathedral as a monument after the Russian civil war. After taking Smolensk during operation Barbarossa the Germans decided to ship them to Berlin for display, and their presence at Lustgarten somehow led to stories about them being used in the battle of Berlin.
