Set in wartime Berlin in 1945, the scene depicts urban ruins with mannequins in period uniforms among the bricks and debris, accompanied by weapons, military equipment, and artifacts representing Nazi Germany's armed forces (Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, etc.) and the Soviet Union's Red Army, etc.:
    • German uniforms of the Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, and Allgemeine-SSOrdnungspolizei.

    • German stick hand grenades (Stielhandgranate)
    • German field telephones (Feldfernsprecher 33)
