  • With the Red Army inside Berlin, Hitler’s bunker (the Führerbunker) which was meant to be a back-up air-raid shelter, now served as the military and political centre of the Reich. But with the location and remains of this ominous site hidden from the public, what secrets can modern historians learn about this Nazi construction?

      We handle that in history classes here in Germany. Everybody learns about the Nazi time extensively in school. We don’t need shrines and statues (like the US Confederate States) to remember the horrors of our past. We also do our best not to whitewash the crimes, especially in WWII and to an extent for our former Namibian colony as well. That’s how you still remember what happened, without the possibility of glorification.
      Edit: Grammar.

      Unfortunately that can never happen. Hitler's Berlin bunker has been destroyed. The roof and most of the walls are gone. Only the concrete floor remains. And the whole thing is full of dirt & rubble. It just isn't there any more. The Soviets destroyed some of it and the East Germans did the rest. It's gone.

      @@MultiFusko Greetings! The famous bunker described in the first 3 mins and 23 seconds is gone. The one shown from 3:23 to 6:21 is a different one. Note that at about 3:40 the narrator says that it's "on the edge of Berlin". I don't know how to spell the location (so I won't embarrass myself by trying!) but the presenter does say the name at about 3:52. He says it was the former command bunker of the Wehrmacht (armed forces). It's not the same place I'm afraid. More info about what the Soviets and the East Germans did to the Führerbunker can be found in lots of places. Here's one: www.slowtravelberlin.com/berlins-bunkers/.

      @@CraigCanberra Hi all, the bunker the historian is in, is the old "Oberkommando des Heeres Bunker and the modern communication center Zeppelin" in Town "Zossen Wünsdorf" near Berlin. After the WW2 the russian moved in there in Wünsdorf and used it till they left Germany in 1994 as main command center. You can see the area in Google Maps very good when you locate Wünsdorf. By the way, the East German removed the bunker and the work was done (1988) before the Cold war ends in November 1989 and Germany was united again.

      I'm an engineer myself, and while German Engineered products are incredibly precise, and have pristine quality control, they're way, and I mean Wayyyy overly engineered. Most of the Mechanical stuff that's designed in germany wont last as long due to their incredibly tight tolerancing of parts. They're good designers, but man do they over engineer the shit out of everything. That's why its so expensive.
      Engineers in other countries, like the united states could easily design stuff as nice and complex as German stuff, but the business side of things doesn't like overly designed crap because it causes costs to go up, and profit to go down. About the only time a company is okay with over designing is if you have a CRAD (Contract Research & Developement).

      One reason Germans want the historie be deleted and forgot is that lot of children of those high ranking SS are wealthy business men in big companies and Banks.. Look at World Economic Forum leader and his fathers history. A man that invented teargas and other bombs. Saved by Americans under operation paperclip where CIA change their names. CIA and NASA wanted their knowledge. Many of them survived in America but travell to Argentina on vacation. And in Argentina there was many Germans til 1955-1965. Then they moved back to Europe. Look when World Economic Forum started. The early beginning was in 1970. It had a another name.
      So start to look at the wealth how did they get so rich... One reason they want to delete history. Many documentary is also deleted and disappeared.

      @Nathaniel12345678910 In our case, it was easier to put various paperwork into the cylinder and fire it up to the records department on the first floor from the basement. It was a busy place so this saved a lot of time. In the cylinder, into the tube and it was there in a few seconds. Some comedian sent the papers and a live mouse upstairs. Scared the poor clerk half to death when the mouse popped out and took off.

    They knew exactly why it was done and were relieved that he was killed, because they knew the war would probably come to an end.

      They didn't. The Bunker originally lay in the tract of wasteland located immediately inside the East Berlin Zone of the Berlin Wall. Dedicated attempts to destroy and bury it only first occurred in the months immediately prior to German reunification. This video only deals with what is known as the Vorbunker or 'upper bunker' that was constructed immediately prior to the war not the Fuhrerbunker or 'lower bunker' this served which was and still is located beneath it, that was built commencing late-1943 and never actually fully completed. The Fuhrerbunker is still mostly intact albeit largely filled with rubble and permanently flooded due to Berlin's location upon a subterranean river-bed. The apartments and carpark were only built after German reunification.

    while the third reich is a thing of the past, the government today still has to consider how to approach the countries past. by making it a museum they would draw in tourists and be directly profiting from the countries horrific past, which is why this hasnt been done until today. in berlin are many memorials for the jews and others who losts their lifes due to the regime to make sure people do not forget what happened, without making any of it a place of interest.
