You can see the 3 'white houses' in front.
Apparently workers houses and workshops. 

The one on the right has a flat roof and seems relatively intact, the other two are just shells.

It looks like they have attempted to shore up the front wall of the left most one as it's half buried in rubble.

While that dries I've started on the hospital bunker.  Cunningly it's designed to fit inside the white house.
Obviously I've used some license on the sizing!

I've offered up the white house and it's oversized, but that's really due to the scale difference.  The white houses are 28mm (ish) but the Reichstag is 15mm so they are proportionally larger.  I'm going to leave off the flat roofed building and move my white house to the right a little.  I'll then make the second badly damaged white house (with the shored up front) a little smaller thugh that said with the top half of the fornt wall collapsed it might not need it.

Photo shows roughtly the table layout
I still need to make the bunker (leftmost circles), 'I' is just a ventilation tower. 
There are also a few other non-descript workshops and so on but details are proving quite hard to find.
I also need to make the foutain walls (the D shapes), roads , bridges (no info) and the flooded subway tunnel.

The two buildings now have basic paint but weathering them is a pain due to size and lack of any reaf features.

I plan on starting on some of the other buildings this week, I've  buinker to build (personnel shelter really) and a few more of the construction buildings including odd long thin 'roofs' which were apparently to hide the workers moving to and fro. 

Going to 3d printer MkV heavy tank too and apply artisitc licence to move it to the Teirgarten.

Very beautiful. It makes me sad to look at it even though I know how the story continues...

Yes, I'm reading different accounts and it was desperate and pointless waste of lives.
It makes difficult reading sometimes.

Started on the central fountain area.  It's a raised platform with steps up either side.  It's got lots of nice walls and has a building on it to break up the open areas.
