Blueprints of the Berlin Bunker

Post by Morphicon »

Hello,

I want to create a realistic 3D model of Hitler's bunker in Berlin, but I can't seem to find any good maps/blueprints or photos of it. Were there taken any photos of the inside of the bunker? I watched a program on Discovery Channel a couple of weeks ago, which inspired me to do this. If anyone can offer any assistance, I'd be most grateful.

Regards,
Morphicon

Thanks, Bavarian Wolf. I also found several other overview pictures of what the bunker must have looked like, so I think I'll be able to recreate the rooms now. I'm still looking for pictures of the interior, but I guess the Russians destroyed the bunker without preserving any detailed photos?

Thank's Morphicon.
Hitlers room must have been something like 3,2 m. on 3,2 m. so small, the conference room to must have been that small, his study was somewhat larger. Guess that everything is en very bad shape now there and does not deserve a restauration (the cost...). I' ve seen the civil shelter in east Berlin that is turned in to a gigantic nuclear civil bunker now. A pitty that the flaktowers at ZOO don't exist anymore, when I see the pictures at the berlin bunker web, those where huge concrete forts, active until the surrender.

Discovery channel recently broadcasted an interesting documentary in which they recreated the bunker. They also had build a 3D-model of it.

I'll have to see if I can get some photos of it. Checking their site now.

Here you can watch films about the exterior and interior of the bunker.

The Soviets attempted to blow up the Führerbunker in 1947, but what they mostly accomplished was to bring down some of the ceiling.

Then, in 1988-89, the East German authorities had the Vorbunker broken up and removed, while building those apartment buildings that are now along Wilhelmstraße and Voss-straße there. They broke up the roof of the Führerbunker and allowed the rubble to drop down into the (flooded) rooms. I have seen a few photos that were supposedly taken inside the bunkers at this time, but some of these have later turned out to have been taken inside other nearby bunkers, so I'm not sure of any of these.

However, "After the Battle" covered this, and their reporter did get inside the Vorbunker at that time and took some photos. But he couldn't get into the Führerbunker itself - it was flooded and the stairway was choked with rubble from the 1947 demolition attempts.
