Reichskanzlei Thread

[Reichssammler]

Reichssammler I'm not ashamed to say that you made my night as I spent 2 hours just staring at every detail in every picture and just as my eyes got tired; I discovered I haven't even gotten through half of what you shared. Next couple of days my wife is gonna complain about the time I spend at the computer thanks to you!
Seriously I really enjoyed this and truly thankful and respectful of you sharing it. Vielen Dank

Haha you are welcome.
The RK is already gone so spend the time with your wife

Here are 3 Video Clips of the ruins, very interesting.

Yes, thankyou Nils.
I just downloaded but haven't really looked through them yet but
from what I have read there is lots to see.

Thankyou for sharing and spending so much time doing this.

Hello,

i was looking through the images of reichssammler, and i found this image. What are we seeing here? Is it an entrance to the chancellery located at the vosstrasse, is it an entrance to the fuhrerbunker, or it could well be an entrance to an u-bahn station.

Cor,

It looks like an underground entrance to the RC on the Volkstrasse side:

thanks rob,

i had my doubts, that is also could be an entrance to an u-bahn. i was not doubting but more hoping it could maybe be an entrance to the fuhrerbunker.

[ghostsoldier]

Yes...the matching tile and structural details give it away as the RC.

What is interesting is how both photos were taken at almost the same angle.

It's actually the lift on Vosstrasse

[muller1945]

is that the same lift that general weidling came out from when he surrended to the russians in may 1945.

I don't think so...this is the one he used (I believe)...



Rob

[Cor]

I think Rob is right. the entrance which used by weidling has a staircase i think.

this could be that entrance



i was wondering in my posted image are those black tiles at the side and at the back, tiles of the elevator?

[ghostsoldier]

I'm not an architectural engineer (or Speer ), but I think the black girders we see in your photo is the lift "skeleton" framework that has been blasted clear by bombing, while the lift was in the up position.

The picture above is dated 1974, and is one of the bunker entrances to the RC. Here are a few more, showing the same bunker(s)...
