DER FÜHRERBUNKER

What is remarkable (to me) about Hitler's bunker was just how tiny it was. Clearly it wasn't designed as a long-time living area. See for yourself here.

Interessant. Danke!

If you click through the various pictures you'll see that it looks like most of the bunker was located under one dance floor. Man it must have sucked to be staying there.

Or the revelers bombing your city back to the stone age.

I spent yesterday recovering from a bout of the stomach flu. A show that used this virtual reconstruction was on the History Channel. I think I had seen it once before. This show focused on Hitler's last days, not on the construction, from what I was awake for.
