An apartment complex built around an "indestructible" concrete bunker -- but where? I know, and so can you. For only $19.95! Wow.
"Hidden In Plain Sight" is a detailed guide book to the hidden, non-touristy sights in Berlin -- WWII and some postwar -- by an Arizona Mechanical Engineer (BSME, WSU) and Geologist (MS ASU):
Use "Hidden" to locate the Surrender House; the "Fun House" bunker; a locomotive w/ an outlawed swastika; red marble from the Reich Chancellery; "The Night of the Long Knives"; The Fasla Pub ...
"Hidden" explains how to get there ... the bus skeds;
addresses; train times; tour effort/time; the beers to drink. And more. A lot more. 258 high-quality, coated pages - 5" x 9" - with MANY color photos. Loaded with "Breath in, breath out" instructions to reach the places shown in these pictures.

Check out stuff they do not have in the typical guidebooks, and, as opposed to tracking down enigmatic addresses, "Hidden" tells you which Berlin public transportation to take. Plus their "open" hours, the cost, the "value", the ease ...
For example: museums are usually closed on Mondays but art museums are free on Sundays. Ja! Das richtig!
