Really interesting. I wonder whether all the bunkers were designed during WW2 or if some were built during the "communist occupation" and the cold war. Next time I'm in Berlin I'll check this stuff out for sure.
Invited and resteemed!

Hey there. Most of them where build in the WW2, but in the Cold war some of them where reactivated and renovated. I guess they also where building a few more as they prepared for a atomic war... there is an extra tour just about the bunkers at the Cold war time, I haven´t have the chance to do it though. Let me know if you know more ;) Did they have bunkers in England too?
Yes they do. During WW2 the London Underground railway stations were used for shelter during air raids. Those who had no access would build a shelter in their garden. However the bunkers you speak of were built during the Cold War. Of these I know of one open to the public. Others are still a secret 😂
Wow. Imagine how many underground bunkers are still there but forgotten all over Europe!! I think that is a very interesting theme. And spooky too! There must be hundreds! have you been to one before?
