Fuhrerbunker Photo

[sandgroper]

G'day All,
I am hoping someone will be able to help me here, I want to get a poster size print done from a picture for a display I'm trying to do. I have attached the pic in question, it is a pretty well known pic of the wrecked fuhrerbunker taken in 1946 or 47. I have a mate who is a printer who is going to enlarge the pic to poster size for me but he reckons that the pics I sent him are not good enough to enlarge to the size I want. He says that I need to try to find that pic in a book, scan it and send it to him because the detail comes out better that way. Does anyone have this pic in a book because I thought I'd have it in one of my books and I don't! If you do, I'd love to have it scanned and sent to me. Thanks all, It's a big ask but it's worth a shot,
Cheers,
Dave.

Hi Dave, not a pic I have, but obviously one, like most, are familiar with.

Given that is a Bundesarchiv print, I wonder if it would be worth the investment of you buying a copy? The quality of the final poster would be much higher if taken from a print verses a scan from a book? No idea of costs having said this...

Cheers, Ade.

Ade, I wasn't aware that I could! I'm happy to buy a print of the pic if I can, I've never looked into buying pics before so never really thought about it. I'll google bundesarchive and see how I go,
Cheers, Dave.

Worth search Neue Reichskanzlei on the site too.

Not a 'big ask' at all. If I had the pic in a book, I would scan it and send it to you, but the Bundesarchiv sounds like a better route to follow.
Good luck with it.
Keep us informed, pls.

Thanks Scout!

Ade, thank you very much, you are much better at finding these things than I am and I really appreciate it! Cheers mate, I'll see if I can buy a print from them and I'll definitely post the finished results.

Thanks once again fellas,
Dave.

Gents, I'm back with the same question. I contacted the Bundesarchiv in Berlin and they will only sell me a high resolution digital copy of this pic if I'm going to publish it in a book, otherwise they wont. In their words, "No exceptions made!" if anyone has this pic or one similar to it in a book I would really appreciate it if they could scan it for me and email it to me. My mate the printer reckons that he can print a reasonable poster size pic of it if I can get a scan from a book that has the higher resolution pic. Any help will be much appreciated, please PM me if you can help. Even the name of a book with this pic will help, I'll buy the book for the pic! Cheers fellas (and Ladies!)
Dave.
