The Schnellboot or S-boote ("fast craft") was a type of German torpedo boat that saw service during World War II. The S-boote were approximately twice as large as their American and British counterparts. By comparison with the Allied craft, the S-boote were better suited for the open sea and had a substantially longer range at approximately 700 nautical miles. These vessels were known to the Allies as "E-boats".

The Führerbunker (German, literally meaning "shelter for the leader" or "the Führer's shelter") is a common name for a complex of subterranean rooms in Berlin, Germany, where German dictator Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva Braun committed suicide during World War II. The bunker is perhaps the most famous of Hitler's Führer Headquarters; another famous one is the Wolfsschanze (Wolf's Lair) in East Prussia.
There were actually two bunkers that were connected together: the older Vorbunker and the newer Führerbunker. The Führerbunker was located about 8.2 meters beneath the garden of the old Reich Chancellery building at Wilhelmstraße 77, about 120 meters north of the new Chancellery building, which had the address Voßstraße 6. The Vorbunker was located beneath the large hall behind the old Chancellery, which was connected to the new Chancellery. The Führerbunker was located somewhat lower than the Vorbunker and west (or rather west/south-west) of it. The map opposite shows the approximate locations of the two bunkers. The two bunkers were connected via sets of stairs set at right angles (not spiral as some believe).

Falls jemand auf die Idee kommt, selber einmal nachsehen zu wollen, so sei gesagt, daß die Anlagen die weiter unten beschrieben sind inzwischen mehr als ein halbes Jahrhundert alt sind.
Das alleine wirkt sich schon nicht gerade förderlich auf ihren jetzigen Zustand aus.
Dazu kommt noch, daß manche Teile dieser Anlagen praktisch immer noch im Rohbau sind und außerdem teilweise gesprengt worden sind.
Es besteht deshalb die Gefahr von plötzlichen Erdrutschen und Zusammenbrechen ganzer Stollen!!! Außerdem ist es offizielle verboten solche Anlagen zu betreten, und es könnten hier und da noch immer nicht unwesentliche Mengen an Sprengstoff vorhanden sein...

Construction of the eventual mammoth Nazi complex on the Obersalzberg began about 1935. Hitler already had his Haus Wachenfeld (later renamed the "Berghof"), and Hermann Göring also had a small rustic house higher on the hill. Both of these were later enlarged and remodeled, although Göring's house retained somewhat the character of a rustic country "landhaus" (Göring was an avid hunter and outdoorsman). To control the crowds who came to see their Führer and Reichskanzler in his home in Berchtesgaden, SS guards were brought in, barracks had to be built, lodgings for all the workers needed for the construction and remodeling were required, accommodations for important guests were necessary, housing for all the needed staff had to be built, kindergartens for their children, etc. Soon the mountain area was a vast scene of construction, and a high fence was built around the entire area to keep the crowds away. Eventually, mostly by design of Nazi Reichsleiter Martin Bormann (who ran the Obersalzberg complex), Hitler's palatial Berghof (no longer a rustic mountain lodge) was surrounded by a security area from which the common people of the Third Reich were excluded. Some of these buildings can be seen in this 1981 photo, taken from the Kehlsteinhaus almost 3000 feet higher on the Hoher Göll mountain overlooking the Obersalzberg. A plan showing these buildings appears below.
