Nancy Faeser shocks Germany with her “bunker confession,” while elsewhere the super-rich are planning stylish survival rooms “for the time afterward.” What time, please?
“Berlin, April 30, 1945. The world is burning, Germany is in ruins. But one cannot be defeated. The light is still on in the Führerbunker.” Walter Moers once came up with the comic character “Adolf, the Nazi Pig” – and came up with a strangely humorous video clip for it that seems strangely contemporary these days. You hear sirens, bomb explosions, then: reggae. Adolf Hitler can be seen in the bathtub. Three meters of reinforced concrete above it. Also in the tub: Blondi, the foam-born German Shepherd. Hitler speaks: “I’m sitting in my bunker (…) The air force is gone, the navy, the army / The Second World War is no longer any fun.”
