  • In this video, Stephen, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot Berlin, takes you on a walking tour to find the location of Hitler's bunker in Berlin. MORE BERLIN VIDEOS: / @experienceberlin8476 .
    Underneath what is today a undescript parking lot in the middle of an apartment building complex, existed the Führerbunker, where Hitler spend the final days of WW2 and the Battle of Berlin and where he ended his life. We'll walk around the neigborhood with the Reich Chancellery once stood to get an understanding of why the bunker was located here.

    I think the photographer masquerading as a construction worker who accessed the bunker alone to photograph it, must have had one of the most chilling experiences

    When I was assigned to the US Embassy Office in Berlin in 1992-1995, I often ate at the Indonesian/Chinese restaurant at the corner of Wilhelm and Voss. Bunker Bistro.

    Hitler's living quarters was in the top right part of the building, where you can see the flagpole at 3:05
    The Russians only managed to destroy the upper part of the bunker complex.
    The lower part where also Hitler's rooms are, is still intact.
    The Russians sealed of the lower entrance with a big slab of concrete.

      After the war, this was true, but in the late 80’s, the bunker was almost 100% destroyed when the flats around it were built.

      There is some doubt about whether or not Speer actually intended to gas Hitler, or would have been able to. And I am not talking about his claim that the filter shafts had been extended and that this thwarted his plan.

      @@malcolmledger176 It never sounded true, to me. Speer was trying to save his own neck with a story that no-one could refute. A story that might make him sound sympathetic to The Court was a good gamble, as long as he didn't over do it.

    During the Cold War when the Wall was up, I heard that the _Fuhrerbunker_ was beneath the eastern edge of what was called the "Death Strip," the no-man's land between the actual Berlin Wall and the inner wall. In those days, it was under a tall, grassy knoll abutting the inner wall, as depicted in the pictures taken of the actual location.

    • @experienceberlin8476
      @experienceberlin8476  Год назад +3

      It was not actually under that area inside the inner and outer walls, rather it was just outside of the inner wall in an area that wasn't developed much after the war. It was really close though, maybe 100 meters or so away.

  • @KimmoKetolainen

    Two more factual errors at time 0:10:20 - 1) The bunker was not located in "no man's land" i.e. between the outer and inner walls of the Berlin Wall, but well inside the inner wall. 2) The erection of those new houses in 1989 did not wait for the walls to go away. Nothing to do with that process that only began on 9 November 1989.

    • @experienceberlin8476
      @experienceberlin8476  Год назад +3

      1) Correct. It was a poor choice of words as I meant "no man's land" in the general sense when it's an actual term for the barrier. I probably should have said dead zone or something to that effect. 2) I don't believe I said that the erection of the flats had something to do with the falling of the Berlin Wall. It's just a coincidence that the apartments' foundations were dug in 1989.
      Thanks for watching. This was my first video and I was a bit nervous. Hope to improve in future videos.

    When I was a child I visited Berlin. Was probably 1961. I believe that I saw Herr Hitler in a restaurant. He would have been about 72. My Grandfather translated into english. He was talking about how Germany should have defeated the Russian swine. He said that the Americans treated the german people better than the Russkies. As he was leaving his table an elderly lady said: "seig heil mein fuhrer"
