Five years later, during the final assault on Berlin, a Russian shell scored a direct hit on a stable at the western end of the Tiergarten. The adjacent Kurfürstendamm, once one of Berlin's prime shopping and entertainment streets, now became a stage for the utterly macabre-horses, those happiest creatures of Nazi Germany, tearing wildly down the street with manes and tails aflame.
