When I was attending high school in Frankfurt I explored the remains of Hitler's bunker complex "Adlerhorst" a number of times. Once, I found an porcelainized steel sign fastened to a wall. I "liberated" that sign and discovered that it was a description of how to operate and service the gas tight air ventilation system.

The Germans built a large submarine pen in St Nazaire, on the Atlantic coast of Brittany. The pen had 14 spaces for subs and was constructed with one million cubic yards of concrete. The roof was about 20 ft thick reinforced concrete. The entrance to the lagoon was through a fortified lock from the Loire estuary. This facility was next to the huge Normandie dry dock that was attacked and destroted by British commandos.

While on the subject of St. Nazaire, I recommend watching the excellent video created by Jeremy Clark about the commando raid on the drydock that would have been necessary to repair the Tirpitz if it had been damaged in the Atlantic. A photo of the lock is attached.

This small cafe is located just inside the land-side entrance to the German submarine pens in St. Nazaire. The food was OK but not outstanding. The ambience was, however, spectacular! A 24 ft thick reinforced concrete overhead guarantees plenty of privacy.

That's fantastic! The aboveground remains of ventilation shafts and structures surrounding the at the time of Hitler's death, under construction vorbunker. The scene today is unrecognisable.
