Hi,
Looking at all the pictures of Hitlers bunker there is not a aerial to be seen anywhere for his communications...
or above the Rieckstag building ......so where was the aerial ??????? others have queried this with me in the past
hope someone knows the answer to this

Hello and welcome. Perhaps there were underground cables that linked to a receiver some distance from the bunker.

Welcome to the Forum, friend...There wouldn't have been an aerial on the Reichstag building as it was a burned out shell after 1933...
The Fuhrerbunker had an aerial antenna attached to a balloon, but it was knocked out on April 29th during the battle for Berlin...After that, they had to communicate through a patchwork of Party Channels, Luftwaffe & Kriegsmarine Relays, the public telephone network, and couriers...
It must be mentioned that the Fuhrerbunker was never intended to be a Command Headquarters, hence the lack of sophisticated communications equipment besides the switchboard and radio-teletype operated by Rochus Misch...
cheers, Glenn
