...Austrian border town of Braunau am Inn, is no longer marked as a shrine; only informed visitors can pick it out. His Alpine retreat at Obersalzberg, which survived the war, was dynamited by the Bavarian government. The remains of the dynamited Führerbunker, a concrete redoubt and command post beneath the Reich Chancellery, are now a grassy mound, situated fittingly enough in the narrow, 110-yd. corridor of no man's land between East and West Berlin.
