I have an opinion in regard to Hitler's bunker that may differ from others on this forum.
I believe the best approach here would have been to preserve it intact. I don't think it would have become a shrine anymore than the Dachau Concentration camp is a shrine to Nazism. Rather it would be stark reminder at just how low evil individuals who exercise might can fall. I believe the same should apply to the hole the allies dug Saddam Hussien out of eventually. Think of it in regard to both of them: From living in palaces and elaborate estates to virtually surviving in holes in the ground.

I agree James
People will talk about places like this for hundreds of years. If they were still there you me anyone could go visit, it would be no big deal. The Berghof is another example among many.
Because they are no longer visible the ground itself becomes a magnetic draw for folks seeking historical fascination. I personally don't see the point of going to Berlin to look at a car park!

I visited East Berlin in 1981, obviously before reunification, and tried to take a picture of the general area of the bunker, but I was stopped by a policeman who indicated that photography was "verboten". Anyway, he said, it was only a "hügel".

Fantastic information......I also agree that the bunker should have been preserved. Perhaps a part of it was not destroyed...........

Vor bunker gone...all of the Fuehrerbunker outerwalls are intact with some inside walls....filled in not with concrete but sand.
What remains is the rest as the Germans say.
