Führerbunker

The former Führerbunker in Berlin, where Adolf Hitler married his partner Eva Braun in the final days of the Second World War and then committed suicide with her, exists today only as an underground ruin. The bodies of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun were cremated near the bunker to avoid discovery by the Soviets. After the war, the Allies attempted to destroy the bunker several times, but the massive reinforced concrete walls partially survived the blasts. In the 1980s, the area was built over and apart from a few remnants, nothing of the above-ground structure remained. Today, there is no direct evidence of the bunker on site. A small information board provides information about its location and history, but deliberately without any incentives to attract tourists. The last days in the Führerbunker are depicted in the movie "Der Untergang". Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, also commits suicide together with his wife Magda. Magda Goebbels had previously poisoned her six children. The bodies of the Goebbels family were also cremated.
