No discussion about Berlin’s World War II period can be complete without examining Adolf Hitler and where he spent his final days. The historical setting holds major importance because Hitler’s bunker, which they call the Führerbunker, stands out in our recorded past. This blog will examine both the physical place where Hitler spent his final days and explain its vital role in World War II history.

History of Hitler’s Bunker

In 1944 the Nazi leaders decided to have a shelter constructed below the garden of their Reich Chancellery. They built Hitler’s bunker in Berlin, Germany as an air-raid shelter. During World War II’s final days this underground space operated beneath the Reich Chancellery garden to serve its essential purpose.

Presently the bunker structure no longer exists. Soviet authorities destroyed Hitler’s bunker soon after Berlin’s capture because it represented fascist symbols in 1947. Today a parking lot stands where the bunker once existed.

The Layout and Design

Hitler’s main base below the ground consisted of many rooms that connected a series of passages. Hitler lived on the top floor of the two-level facility while the bottom led to office and utility spaces.

The bunker designers made the facilities resistant to air assaults while letting Nazi leaders function autonomously throughout World War II.
