A fitting memorial

Adolf Hitler spent his final days in a bunker deep under Berlin. When it was obvious that the war was lost and to avoid capture by the approaching Soviets he shot himself. History has it that his body was taken out of the bunker and incinerated to avoid it falling into Soviet hands.

Today, the site of the bunker is an unkempt car park outside an apartment building. German authorities, anxious to avoid any memorial where Neo-Nazis may gather to celebrate Hitler as a martyr have allowed it to be marked with nothing other than the sign shown below.

The sign, though vandalised, recounts Hitler's final days and shows the layout of the large bunker network, provides information on how it was constructed and its fate after WW2.





I wonder what tales this tree (below) could tell, it's quite substantial at its base.
