There was a lot of work being done to this earlier in the year. Did you find the location of Hitler’s bunker near here? There’s an information board indicating the site. It’s about 100 yards away from the back of the Holocaust Memorial, away from the Brandenburger Tor, heading towards Potsdamer Platz.
旅行者So much work being done, it's really hard to take photos! There are platz that are complete construction sites! Yes, found the bunker, it's a car park...🤭
