Berlin - Berlin construction workers have accidentally unearthed remnants of the bunker in which Adolf Hitler committed suicide in the closing days of the second World War, city authorities said yesterday. The site of the bunker, sealed off by Red Army soldiers immediately after the capitulation of Berlin, was always known. But the reappearance of the most symbolically charged Nazi relic of them all raises the question of what to do with it.
The bunker, just to the south of the Brandenburg Gate and in the heart of Berlin's new government quarter, is where Hitler and his bride Eva Braun took their lives in 1945 as Russian troops surrounded the capital of defeated Germany.
