While I've always had a passing interest in World War 2, there are very few pieces of the war that I remember being taught in school beyond the build up to the war, D-day, Pearl Harbor, and the dropping of the atomic bomb(s). The Battle of Berlin has always fascinated me, specifically the fall of the Reichstag.

So I've been looking at building the Konigsplatz as a Bolt Action board, but there are a few questions I have about it.
1) Does anyone have an image (could be a map) of the Konigsplatz, with the building names.
2) Does anyone know where I can get a 28mm scale building of the Reichstag? even slightly out of scale as long as it works for the game is fine by me
3) Are there any things that I've been missing here that I should be asking?

Gonna be a big board in 28mm scale unless you severely bathtub it.

You won't get one in 28mm. In 20mm Grand Manner do a Government building range.

A friend of mine has done it in 20mm... all scratchbuilt;

Some maps on that link too and pics that will show you the size of the area.

He has another thread on that forum as he is building a large part of Berlin to refight the battle when our new book comes out.

That is amazing, my hat's off to your friend good sir

My local historicals group was using the bolt action rules in 20mm for a beach assault mission, currently all my ww2 is tied up in flames of war and bolt action's 28mm. But thanks for the inspirational links!

Also, what book if I might be so kind as to ask?

Here ya go,

What ya could do in 28mm is build a 4 x 4 that is a ruined apartment block...

I do like the Apartment buildings from 4Ground, although I think I'd rather mix up the buildings that can and cannot be gotten into just so I can have a mix of terrain on the board (and so I don't have to assemble all of those buildings

Thanks for your help man!
