Berlin marker identifies Hitler bunker

The site of the bunker where Adolf Hitler watched his Third Reich implode in the final months of the Second World War was officially marked for the first time today by a historical group seeking to demystify one of the capital’s most historically charged places.

Hidden below a playground and an apartment block, the location of the Fuhrer’s bunker was unrecognisable until the Berlin Underworlds’ Association unveiled its new information panel with graphics, historic photos and a chronology in both German and English.
