Dear Mats,
The memorial in Berlin was the Soviet War Memorial in the Bezirk
(District) Tiergarten. There were Soviet soldiers on guard, and
frequently Soviet VIPs layed wreaths. I'm not sure, whether the memorial
actually formed part of the Soviet sector of Berlin or whether only free
access was guaranteed at all times.
The "Neue Wache" was definitely in East Berlin, where the East German
soldiers celebrated a sort of "Changing the Guards" ritual with their
inimitable Prussian steps.
Regards
Bernhard
