Inside Hitler's Berlin - The Crazy 'Germania' Plan | History Documentary

Adolf Hitler's attitude toward the German capital, Berlin, was consistently reserved, almost distant, throughout his life. He much preferred his beloved Munich and only established a permanent residence in Berlin when he rose to power in 1933. Following his vision, the "old" Berlin was to be transformed into the grand world capital, "Germania," based on designs by his architect, Albert Speer. However, few of these monumental buildings were ever constructed, and most were destroyed by Allied bombing or the advance of victorious armies.
In this documentary experts from the organisation "Berliner Unterwelten," delve into the hidden architectural remnants of the Third Reich. They explore abandoned underground tunnels that were part of the "Germania" plans, former Wehrmacht barracks, and the ruins of massive Flak (anti-aircraft) towers. They also uncover sites such as former torture chambers, SS settlements, Hitler Youth homes, and extensive bunker complexes, many of which remain shrouded in mystery to this day.
Rare archive photographs, originally commissioned by filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, provide a glimpse into the ambitious and grandiose structures Hitler once dreamed of erecting in Berlin.
