These facts have been revealed in an exhibition in a vast Nazi bunker. The exhibition features 'The Myth of Germania: Vision and Crimes' along with the 'Hall of the People' which was to have been twice the size of St Peter's Basilica in Rome with space to accommodate over 180,000 people.
There would also have been a five-mile-long boulevard designed to be flanked by towering buildings celebrating Nazi prestige.
Hitler’s dream city Germania was to be the biggest in the world with grand buildings, avenues and statues which Hitler proclaimed would last for 1,000 years. However, the war changed all that and all that was realized were huge street lights on an avenue leading up to the Brandenburg Gate.
Hitler’s architect was Albert Speer and he had ordered evictions in the demolition zones so building could be completed quickly once Germany had won the war. Moreover, in order to meet demand for construction materials for 'Germania', Adolf Hitler, Albert Speer and SS military commander Heinrich Himmler had reportedly agreed to use concentration camp inmates as manpower.
