Nice link Rick... i've been around the bunker next to the Anhalter station, its huge, very impressive and earie! i walked around it alone as mate i travelled with deicided to give it a miss! i remember reading that it was so packed in there towards the end of the war that 2 old ladies had died on the staircase but had been propped up by others sat tthere too and no one knew they were dead! also they had to seal off the toilets and so many people were commiting suicide in them, i read that just after i'd spent a penny in them! hopefully getting back there soon and will book up an underground tour!

There was channel 5 programme on this subject not so long back. Fantastic shots of the bunkers under Templehof Ariport, a complete factrys building and reparing fighters aircraft.

I saw that Tony, it was good. From what I remember the factory only had about 2 inches clearance each side for the wings. Impressive considering how long it was.

Equally impressive they were still working with the Russians knocking on the door. wonder if you can get a copy?

Bound to be repeated, but you can probably download it off the interweb.
