See this parking lot?
Looks like a very urban, normal, boring parking lot. Not so. Under this parking lot lies Hitler's bunker. The place where he madeall of his plans for global domination and Jewish extermination, and
the place where he and his new wife Ava Brown committed suicide at the
end of the war. This bunker was discovered by the Russian Communists who hid Hitler's
remains from the West for some time before revealing that they found
them. The Russians tried to destroy the bunkers but they were unable
to - Hitler really knew how to bullet-proof his shit. So they filled
the bunkers with sewage and built a parking lot over it to discourage
Neo-Nazi's from creating a shrine. And there you go. But that's not all. See the apartments in the background? Normal, ordinary aparements,
except they were built by the Communists as propaganda during the Cold
War. Yes, that's right.
This spot, which housed Hitler's bunker, also
happened to lie along the Berlin Wall. Communists built these pretty
apartments with - gasp - central heating and air - to show the
Westerners that Communism afforded its citizens an amazing life.
Berlin is this crazy mix of Kaiser history, Nazi history, and
Communist history, and its lying around any corner. It can be anywhere. And the people of the city know it, and there is this energy around it, that so much has happened, and so much might happen. And that's Berlin.
