Berghof Bunker Hitler
Entrance to an unfinished shaft in the Platterhof/Gästehaus tunnel complex, which originally connected to the SS Tunnel System and Hitler's Berghof bunker, some 50 feet beneath this one. In the center is a view looking into the shaft, showing where the winch mechanism was originally mounted. This view is looking down into the shaft. This is often described as an elevator shaft, but it apparently was used only to winch up excavation debris from tunnels further below. The shaft originally had a wooden staircase in it
