Book Review: Hitler Must Have Really Loved Concrete
Summary: 5 Stars
Sub-Title: the Fuhrer's Wartime Bases, from the Invasion of France to the Berlin Bunker
When you look at the photographs and descriptions of the headquarters building Hitler had built you can't help but contrast it with the lack of bunkers by the western leaders. Hitler must have really loved concrete (a quarter of a million cubic meters), and he certainly wanted a lot of alternative locations. He had some twenty headquarters actually built and more in the planning stages. All in all, some 20,000 workers were employed full time for years to provide him with these bunkers, many of which he never even visited let alone used them as working headquarters.
Churchill had a secret wartime headquarters, he needed something to get away from the bombs of the Blitz. I don't believe Roosevelt even had a bomb shelter.
This is a classic book. The authors had access to the reports of the two heads of the construction projects that have previously been unavailable. It fills an interesting niche in the history of the Nazi regime.
