Archaeologists discover secret Nazi bunkers in Germany

During archaeological research in the Thuringian Forest in eastern Germany, scientists have uncovered previously unknown underground bunkers from World War II.

Inside these multi-level bunkers, a range of artifacts has been discovered, including classified documents, fragments of communication equipment, and weapons, Caliber.Az reports, citing foreign media.

Researchers also found encrypted maps detailing strategic sites across Europe, which may hold information about previously unknown military operations.   A bunker constructed by using forced labour during the Third Reich has been converted into a hotel complex in Hamburg, Germany. Guests can now book a room there for 180 euros.

The St. Pauli Bunker, standing at 58 metres tall—slightly higher than the Leaning Tower of Pisa but significantly more massive—has loomed over Hamburg for over 80 years. Constructed under Hitler’s regime, this imposing structure has recently been transformed.   Now, the bunker houses two restaurants, a five-story Hard Rock Hotel, a pyramid-shaped rooftop bar, and a garden where plants cascade down the building’s concrete facade.
