Finding the Führerbunker: The Location of Hitler's Bunker in Berlin

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.

In that Hitler comedy "Er ist wieder da" Hitler woke up in that park. 70 years after the war.

Hitkler did not walk out to shoot himself. He did that in his private room in the bunker.

The “pointy top” isn’t where guards were stationed It is the top of a ventilator supplying the bunker Speer had the idea of putting poison gas into the bunker but the opening of the finished ventilation tower was out of reach

Over your left shoulder at the curb line of the street is where they burned the bodies.

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.

I saw this in 1983 whilst visiting Berlin when I was serving in the military. It was pretty underwhelming.

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.

I bet Hitler was in a bad mood when he woke up on the ground.

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"

Not under!/within the recent Jewish blocks memorial. Actually Under what is now but a car park, kids play area
