Wünsdorf: Was in der verbotenen Stadt zurückblieb

For decades, Wünsdorf was much more than just a military base south of Berlin. Behind barriers, barracks, bunkers, and Soviet-era apartment blocks, a secluded parallel world emerged, later known as the "forbidden city." This video tells the true story of Wünsdorf: from its Prussian military base to the Maybach and Zeppelin bunker complexes, the Army High Command during World War II, and finally to the Soviet military town of Little Moscow during the Cold War. You'll learn why Wünsdorf became one of Germany's most important military sites, how a tightly controlled Soviet city was built on German soil, why thousands of soldiers and their families lived in the restricted zone, and what remained after the withdrawal of Russian troops in 1994. Today, bunkers, barracks, apartment blocks, and relics from various eras still stand in Wünsdorf. But Wünsdorf is not simply a lost place. It is a place where German military history, World War II, the Cold War, and civilian change directly intersect. ...
