Hitler’s bunker, known as the Führerbunker, was an air raid
shelter located near the Reich Chancellery in Berlin. It was part of a larger
subterranean bunker complex constructed in two phases, in 1936 and 1944. This
bunker served as Hitler’s final headquarters during the last months of World
War II.
The Führerbunker was heavily fortified, with walls and
ceilings made of thick concrete to withstand bomb attacks. It contained about
30 rooms, including living quarters, conference rooms, and support facilities.
Hitler moved into the bunker on January 16, 1945, and it became the centre of
the Nazi regime until the end of the war.
In the bunker, Hitler married Eva Braun on April 29, 1945,
and they both committed suicide the following day. The bunker was largely
destroyed after the war, and the site remained unmarked until 2006, when a
small plaque was installed.
The images below show a sketch of the bunker and the sketch overlaid on the current site.
