Destroying what's left of the bunker is likely to be like that too. In fact, Nazi artifacts should say "Do not Enter, Rebuild, or Demolish." It'll be cheaper in the long run that way. The bunker's remains can be like that.

It's not just any bunch of concrete, though. It's a historically significant bunch of concrete, which can be useful for historical purposes. What if someone destroyed a development kit just because "it's a bunch of empty data?!" Oh wait, someone already did that.

You're not helping you're case by comparing a useless bunch of concrete things that aren't very important.


Anyone who wants to see German reinforced concrete construction, which during the war was quite good, can go to other parts of Germany and France to see them.

One good structure is that German submarine base in France which the allies could not destroy. In modern times, the French have turned it into a tourist attraction - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keroman_Submarine_Base

As interesting as it would be to reopen it as a museum, there's not much left of it standing, and it just isn't something worth rebuilding.

The top one would make for a good Brutalist hotel, but since the fortifications were built with slave labour it would be in exceedingly poor taste. :?

Designing the proton pack to protect NYC from ghosts takes a lot of a man's energies, plus dealing with Zuul and Vigo the Carpathian? You expect the man to worry about a crappy Warsaw Pact puppet state when ancient Babylonian gods and Vigo are afoot?

The Guernsey Aquarium was in a German tunnel which was great. The underground hospitals are also worth a visit, very creepy. There are definitely some that are privately owned, and others that have been closed off. Used to play in them as a child.

Hitler's remains are washed away in the Elbe. Can't we just put nazis there as well? Washed out to sea. Let Helgoland deal with it :)

The whole complex is all but destroyed, the whole thing would need to be rebuilt. I don't think the kind of expense involved would be justified, particularly as all you'd get out of it in the end would be a monument to Hitler.

The bunker should stay buried, and probably be pumped full of concrete for good measure.

Exactly. Germany would shot itself in the foot by renovating a place that's guaranteed to attract neo-nazis from across the world.

Then I googled it.

Isn't that already the case for concentration camps and ww2 museums?
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

I don't even think it can be safely opened anymore. It's been blown up and is now being used practically as foundation for other buildings. Also, God only knows what state it's in if it can be safely opened.

Oke i see two arguments against opening. The one is that it will become a nazi shrine and other has to be that is barely existing.
I don't see the reason why Germany needs to hide all its nazi past. History should be seen with glasses of that time and not the political correct version of 2019. Yes Hitler did horrible things and he made the mistake of invading Russia when he should have invaded England first.
Even if it became a nazi shrine, you should take a look at Predappio the birthplace of Mussoline where this a musuem dedicated to him and the whole town is basicly a Mussoline pride city.

If it's just some concrete and nothing is left it might be too hard rebuilding it.

I think that might be one of the most dismissive descriptions of Hitler's actions; "yeah yeah he just did bad things and invaded the wrong country". Its not like the Kriegsmarine was a joke and stood no chance in handling the logistics of somehow defeating the Royal Navy and allowing a naval invasion to occur. The capacity was nonexistent and it was an impossible undertaking.

But also what is your point with the later bit? Using something that became a fascist shrine to demonstrate to those who do not want something to become a nazi shrine that it....won't become a nazi shrine...?

I'm pretty sure they burned him to ashes outside of it after committing suicide, tho.

No I think the nazi shrine argument seems ridiculous , most Germans are not nazis. The few neo nazis that will visit are not gonna be a problem, the antifacists cause way more violence, deaths and injuries in their riots than the neo nazis who just wear nazi related clothes. The anti facists are always attacking the real facists but the media always shows a pro political report that disturbs the truth.
