RE: Berlins Underground - Discovering the hidden worlds underneath the capital

in #travel7 years ago

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?

Sort:  

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?
