Reichskanzlei Thread

[Max]

I just bought Rochus Misch's book "Hitler's Last Witness" and was surprised to see (between pages 148 and 149) a map of the Reichkanzlei with the Ehrenhof translated as 'cemetery'. Just a typo? Or are there bodies under that Chinese restaurant?

A typo / mistranslation
Cemetery is Friedhof

I recently finished Misch's book "Hitler's Last Witness". He appears to shed some light on exactly where Hermann Fegelein was executed.

Page 165: "....had shot Fegelein from behind with a machine pistol in the cellar corridor....."

Do any of our Chancellery experts have any thought on precisely which corridor that might have been?

Cheers,

Ecam

Bronze horses stolen from outside Hitler's centre of power in Berlin are recovered along with many other lost Nazi artworks in police swoop across Germany

(FYI: this is fantastic article from the Bunker's Desk).

The horses once stood on either side of the Reich Chancellery stairs
Constructed by artist Josef Thorak, they are said to be worth £3million
They were found with other valuables in a warehouse in Bad Duerkheim
The horses, seized by the Red Army, were thought to have been melted.

A pair of horses which once stood outside Adolf Hitler's grandiose Reich Chancellery in Berlin has been recovered by police probing a Nazi black market art ring.
Other artworks lost to history since the collapse of Nazism seven decades ago were also seized in police raids in five German states.
One of them was a 16ft by 33ft mammoth granite relief by favoured Nazi artist Arno Breker.
