English: The Reichs Chancellery Eagle on display in the 'Second World War Exhibition' in the Imperial War Museum, London. This battle-damaged bronze eagle, measuring 279x162 cm, was captured from the ruins of Hitler's New Reich_Chancellery building (die Neue Reichskanzlei) in Berlin. It is a sculpted representation of the Reichsadler of Nazi Germany, the 'eagle-and-swastika' national emblem 1935–1945.

Text on a former exhibit label in the Imperial War Museum:

On 30 April Soviet soldiers attacked the ruins of the old Reichstag building in the heart of Berlin. That afternoon Hitler committed suicide in his bunker under the Reich Chancellery.

Adorned with stone and bronze German eagles, the Chancellery was seized on 2 May, the day that Berlin finally surrendered.

Hitler understood the power of monumental architecture. He planned to rebuild Berlin to show the world the strength of his Germany.

In 1939 he had an impressive new Reich Chancellery built. It was decorated with the Nazis' stylised version of the traditional German eagle. This bronze eagle, clutching a swastika in its talons, was made for the Reich Chancellery. The building was ruined in the fighting. Battle-scarred and broken, the eagle reflected the fate of Germany itself.
