Visitors may touch various objects – some of them from military installations, or donations from veterans and the Berlin population – during the tour, which will help to make contemporary history more vivid.

Anna-Kristina Mohos tells of airplanes, spies, and CARE packages when she conducts tours of the Allied Museum’s permanent exhibition in German sign language. Using selected objects, she recounts the checkered history of the Allied presence in Berlin from 1945 to 1994. A visit to the British Hastings TG 503 Airlift plane and an original spy tunnel bring to life the postwar period and the Cold War era in Berlin.
Following the tour, interested participants can watch a film portrait in sign language about a deaf eyewitness to the period in question. The contents in brief: Manfred Kranz grew up in Berlin with his sister Renate, and tells fascinating stories from his childhood in the postwar era. The audience learns about barter with American occupation soldiers, the hunt for “chocolate parachutes,” and the beginnings of a wonderful German-American pen friendship – always with an eye to the particular situation of deaf people.
