Yes indeed. The 1944 pictures were interesting as I was quite sure the windows must been added after the war.(What's the point of windows in a bunker) But the Berlin towers got windows already back in 1944. Same thing in Hamburg? The windows in the Hamburg one look rather new but maybe they're only changed recently?

the Flak tor's in Berlin, Hamburg and Wien were armed with 4 stations and each station was equipped with a twin 128mm gun, so 8 128mm's........impressive !

To add to Erik and Marcus's posts......try this and hopefully they still wrok.

Wow!
Very ambitious project, it's a good thing to give a bunker a new function with respect for the original stucture..

Hello

The bunker at Heiligengeistfelt - Offices and commercial businesses, and I suppose that they still will be there.

The bunker at Wilhelmsburg has another and new function:
