    Why not search for a wartime street map of the area? It may just provide enough details for you to complete the project.

    Tried that, the maps i have come across do not show any buildings on this particular square, just a path, yet i know there were buildings on this bit of land.

    The most i have found is this which shows small squares of the buildings. The area i am talking about to the right of the technical university. It actually has some writing on and i can pick out the word 'sport' perhaps the ring around it was a running track? The second link shows the path more clearly, but it also shows its a symmetrical shape and actually goes under the rail track.

    Nope, the one that was situated in the berlin zoo isnt shown on that diagram.

    Oh my word i just came across this, its from 1957 but i dont think things would have changed that much.

    This should help me with the designs of the buildings.

    I cant thank you enough for helping me out here, you've been great. Ive made some good progress with the level and ill upload some pictures of it soon.

    Cheers, Will
