- 4:25Berlin
- 4:26that.
- 4:26That
- 4:26he
- 4:26went
- 4:27to,
- 4:27so
- 4:27different
- 4:28from
- 4:28the
- 4:28Berlin
- 4:28that

- 4:31before
- 4:31the
- 4:31wall
- 4:31went
- 4:32up
- 4:32the
- 4:32first
- 4:32time
- 4:33he
- 4:33was
- 4:33there.
- 4:33So
- 4:33the
- 4:34idea
- 4:34that
- 4:34the
- 4:34Brendan
- 4:35Brigade
- 4:35is
- 4:35still
- 4:35there
- 4:36through
- 4:36all
- 4:36of
- 4:37these
- 4:37changes
- 4:38to
- 4:38remind
- 4:38you
- 4:38of
- 4:39him,
- 4:39I
- 4:39think
- 4:39is
- 4:39pretty
- 4:39special.
- 4:40Well,
- 4:40yes,
- 4:41the
- 4:41Brandenburg
- 4:42Wall
- 4:42has
- 4:43had
- 4:43a
- 4:43lot
- 4:43of
- 4:43changes.
- 4:44I
- 4:44mean,
- 4:44I
- 4:44think
- 4:44it
- 4:44was
- 4:45Napoleon
- 4:46who
- 4:46stole
- 4:46the
- 4:46statue
- 4:47that
- 4:47was
- 4:47atop
- 4:48it.
- 4:48And
- 4:48then
- 4:48when.
- 4:49When
- 4:49the
- 4:50Germans
- 4:50beat
- 4:50the
- 4:51French
- 4:52in.
- 4:52Not
- 4:52in
- 4:53World
- 4:53War
- 4:53I
- 4:53or
- 4:53two
- 4:53in
- 4:54a
- 4:54previous
- 4:54war,
- 4:55they
- 4:55were
- 4:55able
- 4:55to
- 4:56get
- 4:56that
- 4:56back.
- 4:57So
- 4:57it's
- 4:57become
- 4:58a
- 4:58real
- 4:58symbol
- 4:59of
- 4:59the
- 5:00city.
- 5:01The
- 5:01city
- 5:02itself
- 5:03is
- 5:05so
- 5:06vibrant
- 5:07and
- 5:07yet
- 5:08in
- 5:08certain
- 5:09ways,
- 5:09so
- 5:10ugly.
- 5:10It's
- 5:11a
- 5:11gritty,
- 5:12gritty
- 5:13city.
- 5:13And
- 5:14when
- 5:14you're
- 5:14wandering
- 5:15around
- 5:15and
- 5:15you
- 5:15notice
- 5:16that
- 5:16the
- 5:16wall

- 5:25in
- 5:25the
- 5:25walls
- 5:26of
- 5:26the

- 8:49But
- 8:50it's
- 8:50a
- 8:50fascinating
- 8:51building
- 8:51because
- 8:51it
- 8:51had

- 8:58So

- 8:59to
- 8:59rebuild
- 8:59that
- 9:00from

- 9:00to
- 9:00make
- 9:00it
- 9:01what
- 9:01it
- 9:01is
- 9:01today.
- 9:01Interestingly,
- 9:02I
- 9:02also
- 9:03passed,
- 9:03I
- 9:03took
- 9:04a
- 9:04walking
- 9:04tour,
- 9:04which
- 9:05wasn't
- 9:06as
- 9:06good
- 9:06as
- 9:07it
- 9:07could
- 9:07have
- 9:07been,
- 9:07but
- 9:08we
- 9:08went

- 9:16that
- 9:16was
- 9:17the
- 9:17head
- 9:17of
- 9:17the
- 9:18German
- 9:19air.
- 9:21What
- 9:21is
- 9:21that
- 9:21called?
- 9:22Not
- 9:22the
- 9:22navy,
- 9:22the
- 9:23German
- 9:23equivalent
- 9:23of
- 9:23the
- 9:24air
- 9:24force,
- 9:24wouldn't
- 9:24it?
- 9:25German
- 9:25equivalent
- 9:26of
- 9:26the
- 9:26air
- 9:26force.
- 9:27And
- 9:27it
- 9:28had
- 9:28always
- 9:28been
- 9:28used
- 9:29as
- 9:29a
- 9:30target
- 9:31by
- 9:32our,
- 9:33the
- 9:33Allies
- 9:33bombing.
- 9:34During
- 9:34bombing
- 9:35raids
- 9:35they
- 9:35would
- 9:36look
- 9:36for
- 9:36it
- 9:36because
- 9:36it
- 9:37was
- 9:37bigger
- 9:37than
- 9:37all
- 9:37the
- 9:37other
- 9:38buildings,
- 9:38but
- 9:39they
- 9:39would

- 9:40hitting
- 9:41bombs
- 9:41to
- 9:42go
- 9:42when
- 9:42they
- 9:42saw
- 9:43it.
- 9:43So
- 9:43they'd
- 9:43always
- 9:44be
- 9:44past
- 9:44it.
- 9:45And
- 9:45so
- 9:46it

- 9:48the
- 9:48other
- 9:48buildings

- 9:50not.

- 27:49which
- 27:49was
- 27:49appropriate
- 27:50for
- 27:50Utrecht
- 27:51because
- 27:51Utrecht

- 28:06were
- 28:06built
- 28:06for
- 28:06the
- 28:07Catholics.
- 28:07So
