Berlin! oh and a nuclear bunker...

June 15th: The day I found a bunker.

The day started out at the Nazi terror museum, I think my obsession to know everything about the Nazis is over. That museum was like walking through a slow moving brain washing experiment that went wrong. I took some pics of the museum however it is not worth showing after seeing Auschwitz. Plus I think I've had enough about the terror and horror the Nazis put the German people under.

After seeing that I found this museum called the The Story of Berlin. It was a museum dedicated to what happened to Berlin from the creation of the city until modern day. It was there that they had open to the public a nuclear bunker.

The street the museum was located on was in the old French section of West Berlin. A very pretty spot if I do say so :)

I found the Wolfarths! Although the spelling is off it was a close match and kinda cool to see their name associated with a restaurant since I know my Uncle Frank and Aunt Susan can cook!

Inside the museum each era was split into rooms

Play money now but German Marks

Another photo of what I had to wear in Greenfield Village. That place does its research!

The bunker… talk about kinda super creepy. I went through with three other people and a guide. The guide told us that there were four other bunkers in Berlin and this one is the only one open to the public. It was built in the 1960s and it only holds about 2,000 people. So if there was a atom bomb to fall on Berlin they would not be able to save that many people. Plus the bunker only held enough for two weeks worth of supplies after that you had to leave. From what we know now about atom bombs, this would not work very well for those left in the bunker. It would not be safe to go out after 2 weeks of an atom bomb. But at least it was something. The place was never used or ever tested with full capacity but, apparently, it could still be used. Hopefully it won't ever have to be.
