On my last trip to Berlin one of the things I did was to spend a little time tracking down and photographing the locations of some of the key places which feature in the Bernard Samson series of ten books. Any fans of the series who are going to Berlin at any time can use this map as a reference.
However, it's not complete. There's an open invitation to blog readers to add to this map any key locations that I might have missed (particularly from the last two trilogies).

This is a blog about the books, film and world of British thriller and spy novel author Len Deighton, writer of The Ipcress File, Funeral in Berlin, SS-GB, Bomber, Berlin Game and many other books. This blog also covers the spy thriller genre and the Cold War more widely. It is a companion website to the main Deighton Dossier archive (link on the right). It is the only website + blog endorsed by the author himself! Content (c) Rob Mallows 2008-22 unless otherwise stated.

Great idea and well done on putting this map together. I am heading to Berlin later in the year and was going to track down some of these locations myself. I will now use your map as my reference to the Berlin that Deighton describes so well. You can learn so much from the movements of a great fictional character like Bernard Samson.
ReplyDeleteWell if you find any more sites of interest from the books that should be added to the map, take a photo and we'll add it to the map and the main Deighton Dossier website.
