Führerbunker

The Führerbunker's rear entrance, 1947

The Führerbunker was an underground air-raid shelter in Berlin, Germany used by Adolf Hitler during the final months of World War II.

History

With the Allied powers advancing on two fronts from France and Russia into Germany to end World War II, Hitler planned to execute body doubles of himself and his newly-wedded wife Eva Braun on 30 April 1945 in the bunker and hide until he could deliver his Apple of Eden to a Templar contact. However, the Assassins learned of Hitler's plan, intercepted him and Eva as they exited the bunker, and assassinated them. The Soviet Union's Red Army partially destroyed the Führerbunker in 1947, and further demolition and burial efforts took place in the 1950s and 1980s to erase its remnants.
