Sportpalast

Hi,
I have a question that has been bothering me for quite a while: where is the Sportpalast in Berlin where Hitler held numerous speeches? I have a number of prewar Berlin maps but none show the exact building (that I can make out anyway). Am I misinformed about this building?

Thank you Mark. Information that I have been looking for for a long while. Are these new street names (post-war)? Thanks again for your response.

Potsdamer Straße and Pallasstrasse is both post-and pre-war. But somehow the piece of land were the Sportpalast stood (till 1973) is now "Pallasstr 35"...
Here is a modern map:

Maybe you can zoom out and find the spot on your maps.
