TODAY IN BERLIN: BULLETS OVER BERLIN

March 18

March has never been Berlin’s month. Whether revolutions, attempted coups (the failed right-wing Kapp Putsch went to an end on March 17, 1920), or flooding - many a bleak winter ended in an even bleaker pre-spring.

On March 18, 1848 it was no different: on this day Berlin’s March Revolutions reached their bloody peak.
