Neue Reichskanzlei und "Führerbunker" : Legenden und Wirklichkeit

This book is written in German - 
Hitler's neue Reichskanzlei un der im Garten angelegte Bunker sind bis heute mit zahlreichen Legenden umgeben. - Zum einen wird behauptet, die alte Reichskanzlei sei baufällig gewesen, weshalb ein Neubau erforderlich gewesen wäre. - Zum anderen sei dieser erste Monumentalbau des Großdeutschen Reiches in einer Rekordzeit von lediglich neun Monaten enstanden. - Schließlich geht die Mär, der Führer hätte von hier aus regiert. Doch die wahre Geschichte des Gebäudes und seiner Nutzung sieht anders aus. Für Hitlers jungen Stararchitekten Albert Speer war es ein Prestigeobjeckt im Rahmen der gigantomanischen Umgestaltungspläne Berlins, das er auch nach dem Krieg noch mit Zwecklügen rechtfertigte und verklärte. Da Hitler sich am 30. April 1945 im Führerbunker das Leben nahm ist das Interesse an dem Historischen Ort ungebrochen. In dem vorliegenden Band wird die Geschichte dieses legendären Bauwerkes reich illustriert dargestellt, verbunden mit einer kritischen zeitgeschichtlichen Einordnung. ........EnglishTranslation..............................................Hitler's new Reich Chancellery and in the garden the bunkers which today are surrounded with numerous legends. - Firstly, it is claimed , the old Reich Chancellery was dilapidated, so a new building was necessary. - Secondly, this first monumental structure of the greater German Reich was was built in a record time of only nine months. - Finally, the myth goes, Hitler would have ruled from here.

Hitler's new Reich Chancellery and the bunker built in the garden are still surrounded by numerous legends today. - On the one hand, it is claimed that the old Reich Chancellery was dilapidated, which is why a new building would have been necessary. - On the other hand, this first monumental building of the Greater German Reich was built in a record time of only nine months. - Finally, the myth goes that the Führer ruled from here. But the real story of the building and its use is different. For Hitler's young star architect Albert Speer, it was a prestige object within the framework of Berlin's gigantic transformation plans, which he continued to justify and glorify with lies of convenience even after the war. Since Hitler took his own life in the Führerbunker on April 30, 1945, interest in the historical site is unbroken. In this volume, the history of this legendary building is richly illustrated, combined with a critical historical classification. ........
