Private picture of the Führer Bunker

[Soviet]

I was in Moscow last week and I got my hand on a rare private picture from what I believe to be the Führer Bunker. Can somebody can confirm me it is 100% the entrance of Hitler bunkers which was located in the garden of the Neue Reichskanzlei.

The seller had few pictures from Berlin taken by Soviet soldiers just after the war.

I might sell this picture with other pictures I have acquired during my stay in Berlin and Moscow in order to finance my next purchase. So I don't want to fool anybody and I want to be sure it is the Führer Bunker.

Thanks!

yes soviet,
the image is what you thought it is, the garden entrance of the "Neue Reichskanzlei". so professionally clean and neutral as it looks it reminds me more of a press pic than an amateur snap.

Thank you Werner. Although the picture is smaller than the Press Photo that I know from the German and there is no label attach on the back. The back clearly shows that it was in an album before and there is one word written in Cyrillic that I can’t make out.

EDIT: I was wondering if somebody ever seen this picture, to determine if it could be a Press picture?<o></o>

You could scan the back of the photo and I try to read that word.

This foto is really interesting!
I am interested in the theme "FB" since 35 years now and have really ALL publications about it. But I have NEVER seen this photo before, also not in the www. IMO it is a very fine view of the entrance, the casino of the reichs chancellery and unfinished the air condition tower (not a observation tower).
CONGRETULATIONS. What is your price for the photo?

Nice photo, it reminds me of the better known photo of an American soldier saluting two Russian guards before entering that doorway. It was a very popular tourist spot in the summer of 45!
I also think that it was a professional photo because the surroundings have been cleaned up as well as no people showing. Perhaps it was part of the SMERSH documentation.

I do speak a little bit Russian, but I still have problems to read writings in Russian.

The word on the backside should be:

Убежище = bunker, dugout, air raid shelter, shelter, hideaway

My mother is a native speaking Russian. I couldn't have read it, the "ж" is badly written.

Bist du Deutscher?

[Soviet]

Thanks for the translation!

Nein, ich habe nur in Deutschland studiert.

Gern geschehen!
