From Nov 1, 2016, the new "Führerbunker" (Hitler's bunker) exhibition in Berlin will offer guided tours around a replica of the study in which Hitler committed suicide in 1945.
Today, the original site of the bunker in which Adolf Hitler spent his final days is covered by a car park and a simple, discreet plaque. The Führerbunker exhibition, curated by the private Berlin Story Museum, reproduces the bunker in a former air-raid shelter on the Wilhelmstraße in central-west Berlin, just 2km from the original site. The controversial exhibition has been accused of sensationalising the war crimes committed under Hitler's leadership.
