01 Feb 2012 Concentration camp built by the Nazis in 1936 in Oranienburg. Just take a train to Oranienburg Bahnhof (several options) and, once there, you can either take a bus or a 20-min walk to the memorial. Not enough? The entrace is free!
#Sachsenhausen #ConcentrationCamp in #Berlin #Germany here is barb wire that the Nazi's used to keep the #Holocaust victims away from certain areas and on "the right track".
When freedom burns The final solution Dreams fade away And all hope turns to dust When millions burn The curtain has fallen Lost to the world As they perish in flames We shall never forget
Bunker 5001 was East Germany’s ultimate undisclosed location. Had the Cold War turned hot, East German leader Erich Honecker and other high-ranking communist leaders would have comfortably ridden out the end of the world in this 7,500 cubic meter space. It’s buried in the middle of a forest about 40 kilometers from Berlin. My guide, Hannes Hensel, who’s part of a group called the Berlin Bunker Network, showed up and poked around the ground for awhile until he uncovers a steel trapdoor. He opens it and beckons me inside. We won’t surface again for well over 4 hours. “This was the most technologically advanced bunker of its time,” Hensel says while explaining his interest in the site. Bunker 5001 was actually superior in some respects to similar American and West German bunkers of its time. Inside, he shows me how the East Germans built the bunker as a series of massive containers, built on giant springs and coils so that the facility could ride out the shock wave from nearby nuclear blasts. The bunker contained its own generators, water system and air filtering facilities, so that its 400 inhabitants would have had no need to enter the nuclear wasteland above for two weeks after a war. The postwar plans were a bit hazier, however. “After two weeks, they would have gone above ground wearing radiation suits and gotten to an airplane and flown eastward to Russia,” says Hensel. Bunker 5001 is definitely number one on the most endangered list of bunkers in the Berlin area. The site’s entrances meanwhile IS SEALED UP with concrete sometime to prevent thrill-seekers from gaining access. Further Documentation is available at http://www.bunker5001.com/
