Specially about the Führerbunker

2009.04.07
German Bunkers in Denmark is a production by two heavyweight veterans in the bunker business; Jens Andersen & Rudi Rolf. The book hit the market in 2006 and is a must if you take an interest in the some 8000 constructions that were erected in Denmark during WW2.
Obtainable from:
Museumscenter Hanstholm

This is actually an oldtimer, but without comparison the best and most comprehensive production, depicting the Second World War. It is an absolute must for anyone who want the full picture, from the Desert to the Arctic, from the Poland campaign, Dunkerque, Stalingrad, the Holocaust, D-Day and Hiroshima. Obtainable from: Amazon, IWM and local retailers

The Adolf Guns at Trondenes are today the largest remaining naval cannons on land in the World. This book has just hit the market in an English version and deals not only with Trondenes, but also the three other batteries where the huge 406 mm guns were installed.

This DVD is actually a year old or so and deals only with the ante-bunker under the old Reichs Chancellery. The digital re-mastering is excellent, however, and the really exciting part is, that a DVD with the actual Führerbunker is in the mould, according to their website. German & English speak (I sincerely hope ;-)
Obtainable from:
Der Führerbunker

If you plan to take the Hanstholm/Kristiansand tour and if you are on a budget, I can highly recommend Hanstholm Soemandshjem (Sailors Home) as one of the pit stops. It is nice and clean, quiet and situated centrally just across the street to the Kristiansand Ferry. And it is affordable with a nice breakfast included in the price (a single room equals some 50-60 Euros in 2009)

Have not tried the restaurant yet.
