Zeppelinfeld - the Nazi Party Rally grounds and Hitler's podium


As the tour bus pulled closer , I had to rub my eyes . Blinked one time and this was still there .
Looks like the Coliseum eh ? 
Nope , we're in Nuremberg , and this is the Kongresshalle 



And then we got off the bus and started walking towards this structure . The entire area is known as the Zeppelinfeld because the field was the first site where a Zeppelin landed .

Führerbunker - the bombproof bunker where Hitler got married and died


So secret and vast were these underground bombproof , anti air raid bunkers that no matter how the Soviets and Germans thought they'd finally managed to destroy it , construction projects as well as ground excavations always proved them wrong . 
Considerably well preserved with a good number of tunnels and rooms still intact , the subterranean bunker is a sprawling underground complex where Hitler spent his final months directing Nazi Germany .
