>>2770458
one eye on Moscow, the other on London

>>2770458
Is this photo even really him? He looks like a potato.

If he did that it would've been the fascist Cultural Revolution.

Looks spectacular but was impossible to built.

>1939, Wehrmacht troops march in Warsaw
>1940, Wehrmacht troops march in Paris

>1945, Polish troops march to Berlin's Victory Column and fly 3 Polish flags from the top
>1945, French troops are given their own occupation zone in Germany
poetic justice

muh weather indoors
muh rain due to everyone breathing

>>2770466
Dubs confirm this

"I din known nuffin about no holocaust"

~albert speer 1945

>>2770666
yeah that always seemed like bullshit to me

>>2770788
I'd be more worried about the physics of the huge dome and the unstable foundations.

>>2770666
>much weather indoors
I think the problem is that Berlin is essentially a swamp and couldn't have accommodated so much weight.

This weather thing sounds interesting tho. Sauce?

>>2770583
the dome looks god awful tbqh. No sense of proportion.

>>2770824
>This weather thing sounds interesting tho. Sauce?
I heard it from a history channel documentary, from back in the day when they did those things. It had to with Speer/Hitler's vision for a new Berlin

Tell me about this plan for Berlin? I'm awfully interested.

>At the northern end of the boulevard, Speer planned to build the Volkshalle, a huge assembly hall with a dome which would have been over 700 feet (210 m) high, with floor space for 180,000 people. At the southern end of the avenue a great triumphal arch would rise; it would be almost 400 feet (120 m) high, and able to fit the Arc de Triomphe inside its opening.

>When Speer's father saw the model for the new Berlin, he said to his son, "You've all gone completely insane."[42]

kek

>>2770583
lol they even painted the evil looking clouds, did Hitler really believed he was an anime villian?

Fuck you I like Germania. An imitation of ancient Rome is better than all of the soulless cosmopolitan indistinct generic crap that you can find in every city of the world nowadays. Super ambitious architecture and mass public work projects should come back.

>>2770839
Wonder who drew it

>>2771200
probably some rejected austrian artist

better or worse than its proposed soviet counterpart?

>>2771145
IIRC they literally built a giant concrete block to see if the ground could actually support any of these buildings

>>2771212

>that colossal monument to a filthy russian peasant

triggered

>>2771212

Hitler's greatest crime was interrupting the construction of this.

>Germania
Pathetic
Couldn't they have come up with an actually Germanic name? It only made them look like shitty larpers.

Reminds me of how in Poland some people want to name the Silesian metropolitan Area "Silesia" in Polish. Fucking cringe. It sounds awful. There are literally no placenames in Poland that have Latin origins. All are of Slavic, Germanic or Baltic origin.

>the nazis never got around to destroying Berlin's comfy pedestrian-oriented European city layout and replacing it with a cancerous Americanesq vehicle-oriented infrastructure

I'm glad tbqh

>>2770824
Just drill fuckhuge piles all the way down to the bedrock.
