grrrrr.....
ol’ Pet is currently vacationing in Berlin, Germany and one of the highlights of the trip was to see around the eponymous costruct.
Downfall is one of my all time favourite filums.
But it seems they have closed it down temprarily on account of neo-Nazi types making their visit into a pilgrimage
Hitler’s Bunker closed.

Downfall is a superb film Pet. I thought the area was just an anonymous car park these days?

Re: Hitler’s Bunker closed.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure the Soviets destroyed all trace of it in 1945 precisely because of the 'pilgrimage' thing.
Maybe some enterprising Berliner has built (or dug) a replica elsewhere in the city.

From wiki (yeah, I know ):
The ruins of both Chancellery buildings were levelled by the Soviets between 1945 and 1949 as part of an effort to destroy the landmarks of Nazi Germany. The bunker largely survived, although some areas were partially flooded. In December 1947, the Soviets tried to blow up the bunker, but only the separation walls were damaged. In 1959, the East German government began a series of demolitions of the Chancellery, including the bunker. Because it was near the Berlin Wall, the site was undeveloped and neglected until 1988–89. During extensive construction of residential housing and other buildings on the site, work crews uncovered several underground sections of the old bunker complex; for the most part these were destroyed. Other parts of the Chancellery underground complex were uncovered, but these were ignored, filled in, or resealed.
Government authorities wanted to destroy the last vestiges of these Nazi landmarks. The construction of the buildings in the area around the Führerbunker was a strategy for ensuring the surroundings remained anonymous and unremarkable. The emergency exit point for the Führerbunker (which had been in the Chancellery gardens) was occupied by a car park.

Re: Hitler’s Bunker closed.
About 20 years ago I read an article about some nazi bunkers being unearthed in Berlin during some building work. They said they were in good condition with murals painted all over the walls, but they said they were going to bury them again to stop them becoming a shrine to neo-nazis.
I really am a biatch

You guys.
They actually opened the bunker in 2016 as a tourist attraction.
But they have closed it again on account of neo Nazi tyoes turning a visit into a pilgrimage.
