I thought so. I was stationed in Berlin 84-88 and would watch the Soviets do a sort of changing of the guard at that memorial. Not very impressive. The war memorial was one of three places in West Berlin the Soviets could stationed their soldiers. The other 2 were Spandau Prison and the Berlin Air Safety Center.

I read somewhere that the memorial itself is made from red granite taken from the demolished Reichstag.
