# Talk:Vorbunker

Do enough sources make the distinction between the Vorbunker and the Führerbunker as a second floor below the Vorbunker? Even the source used in the article is called the "The Reich Chancellery and Führerbunker Complex."

It seems to me that the two articles should be merged. Nick-D (talk) 08:54, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
I don't believe they should be merged. They were two seperate bunkers with the two connected by the staircase mentioned. With that said, I will go with consensus. I can write more but must go for now. Kierzek (talk) 12:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
The way it is written in the "After the Battle" magazine article is:"...the firm was recalled to build a new bunker...Although never completed this became the lower, or Führerbunker, which was connected to the old shelter, or Vorbunker, by a staircase. The two bunkers could be separated by a bunkhead and steel door which was permanently guarded by two sentries." (page 28). It is important to note the writer, historian Andrew Mollo, refers to "the two bunkers" and how they are separate. Kierzek (talk) 02:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
Footnote: In further checking sources, both James O'Donnell, of "The Bunker" book and Joachim Fest, of "Inside Hitler's Bunker: The Last Days of the Third Reich", refer to the two bunkers separately. Kierzek (talk) 15:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

The first paragraph under "Construction" states that the original plans depicted the bunker as being accessible through the cellar of the reception hall of the Old Chancellery. The attendant map, however, depicts to surface entrance: one from the New Chancellery and one from the Foreign Ministry garden. The map shows no exit to the Old Chancellery building.
It would be nice to explain the discrepancy, even if in just a single sentence. Did the actual construction differ from the original plan? 2A02:AB88:1A8A:E780:0:0:0:45FB (talk) 21:41, 28 November 2024 (UTC)
