Hitler’s Berlin Bunker's Hidden Secrets | Blowing Up History

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.

[@CraigCanberra]

@@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).

They didn't. The Bunker originally lay in the tract of wasteland located immediately inside the East Berlin Zone of the Berlin Wall.

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.

since a lot of people here either would want the bunker to be a museum of sorts or saying it would serve to "glorify nazi's" i wanted to add why the german government likely wouldnt consider making it a site to visit: 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. just imagine how wrong it would sound to have the führer bunker as a place worth visiting in berlin next to the brandenburger tor and the fernsehturm.

[@Kyle_Lurz]

He didn’t want the Russians carrying his body through Moscow

[@LeofromFreo]

It stank. It was 50 feet below the surface and 30 feet below the sewer which leaked.

[@travellerstoryteller]

I believe they should put it visible on surface for tourism, for people to see where was the evil heart and don't forget. In the top, you could build a parking lot of 2 or 3 floors!

[@pratikchiku9441]

These high pressure tubes are now hyperloops which will improve the traveling

[@LarcR]

So what were the hidden secrets? I didn't learn anything I didn't already know.

[@pulseir4360]

the bunker was the hidden secret

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

For me having watched so much footage and description of the bunker being‘ destroyed’ the secret was in the fact that despite some damage the structure: tunnels / rooms etc still survive in some shape

[@indydude3367]

The historian is a bit histrionic. Lol. There wasn't a "German War Machine" left by the time Hitler scurried into the bunker in 1945. He was staring at maps that were outdated, ordering divisions that didn't exist and dreaming of a "Miracle in the House of Brandenburg" (look it up).

[@wombatwilly1002]

And looking at models of Germania he had ordered made

[@liveforever9888]

He would constantly stare at the portrait of Frederick the Great, he believed Frederick defeated his enemies and saved the destruction of Prussia while being outnumbered 20 to 1.

[@jakeg3126]

He lived last 100 days and only came out 1x crap. I doubt we know where he was or what he did.

[@ngku_shz]

Oh ok. I didn't expect that..

[@obuohsokadbatuh1831]

Dont worry, in a thousand years to come Germans will excavate the bunker just like searching for king Herod palaces.

[@shutup2751]

waste of time, there'd nothing down there now, filled in with rubble and flooded, only thing still there is the floor

[@criticalgaming5936]

I think they used pipes so allies can't find the bunker by tracking the radio? Maybe I'm wrong

[@vlonethug4761]

Somewhat correct

[@adams4240]

Can’t detect transmissions and can’t intercept communications. Multiple benefits to the system.

[@MrMAC8964]

No , maybe you just retained what the guy just said .

[@harryricochet8134]

@@adams4240 Utter rubbish. Those vacuum tubes were merely used for interoffice communication, this imbecile 'historian' has zero knowledge of anything to do with how sensitive information was communicated in the Third Reich. It most certainly wasn't through a set of vacuum tubes over a distance of a few hundred meters within a secure bunker at the OKW headquarters at Zossen.

[@jbsully2864]

Those animations were awesome.

[@mikaelgrande6968]

i kinda like the thought of being able to walk on and over it, like, screw you, im walking on top of your rubble

[@jimwiskus8862]

Not sure why they got so jacked up and destroyed it. Would have made great footings for a museum above ground. Then take a walk downstairs to complete the tour. Oh well.

[@12345qwertdfg]

Hats of to german engineering..

[@LiveInSydney]

When you go there. There is a large sign with the plan of the bunker. As they say it’s a parking lot now. But at least the sun gives you some indication of what it was like.

[@woodenseagull1899]

Do they have enough handicape Parking slots...?

[@PokeThies]

I went there as part of a school trip of Berlin. We just walked past it. indeed it was a parking lot. Nothing more to it.

[@frankstall1347]

Beautiful Berlin !

[@paulvanbeurden]

Albert Speer was a Genius!

[@shauntaylor6040]

Speer didn't design the bunker.

[@amberlopez7477]

He was a weasel in the end.

[@harryricochet8134]

Speer didn't build the Berlin bunker, he had nothing whatsoever to do with its construction.

[@rahul07sky84]

4:29 one of the William Murdoch's invention ..

[@lorlast5204]

I've been to this parking looks so boring now but man it's rich in history

[@sumerrana6805]

a bunker designed for air raid could not be destroyed with explosives what a surprise

[@davef.2811]

Didn't the French, in the 19th century, invent and use an almost identical communications system called the "Pneumatique" throughout Paris?

[@jerfacekilla]

Yes, but they used the patents of Josiah Clark to design it. He invented it in the 1850s.

[@DarthTrader707]

I visited that site, and found it to be beyond surreal. As a history buff, I couldn't live in those apartments, using that parking lot every day. It would fry my brain to think that right here, immediately below this ground, is such an historic place. Fun fact...that is the only place in Berlin where there is an outside picture of Adolf Hitler. It's on the sign describing that this is the place of the Fuhrer bunker.

[@grvc44]

I came here late but I wish they preserved the bunker.

[@pedroargentina753]

Could be a History museum !!

[@leandrogomes2351]

If i was the leader of Germany i would order the bunker to be dug back up

[@gammersunity4117]

And if it was me, I would built a, steel bunker, with molten steel,which would be indestructible, don't worry of heat and cold, better with thermal insulators

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

These locations of barbarism, cruelty, torture, of heinous crimes against humanity must never , never , ever be allowed to close. They have to remain as a lasting memory and as a reminder of how bestial people can behave to others . As we all know history can and is being re/ written online . Unfortunately like or not the German people may well wish t ‘forget ‘ and move on . This will never happen with this race that in 2 months occasions caused chaos, death , destruction, and genocide on a world wide scale . We must never forget

[@SONORSQ2guy]

So industrious 👍
