What was the official name of the bunker where Joseph Goebbels's wife and children died in 1945?
Vorbunker The Vorbunker (upper bunker or forward bunker) was an underground concrete structure originally intended to be a temporary air-raid shelter for Adolf Hitler and his guards and servants. It was located behind the large reception hall that was added onto the old Reich Chancellery, in Berlin, Germany, in 1936. The bunker was officially called the "Reich Chancellery Air-Raid Shelter" until 1943, when the complex was expanded with the addition of the "Führerbunker", located one level below. On 16 January 1945, Hitler moved into the "Führerbunker". He was joined by his senior staff, including Martin Bormann. Later, Eva Braun and Joseph Goebbels moved into the "Führerbunker" while Magda Goebbels and their six children took residence in the upper "Vorbunker". The Goebbels family lived in the "Vorbunker" until their deaths on 1 May 1945.
Operation Heads Operation Heads (Polish: "Operacja Główki" ) was the code name for a series of assassinations of Nazi officials by the Polish Resistance during World War II. Those targeted for assassination had been sentenced to death by the Special Courts of the Polish Underground for crimes against Polish citizens during the World War II occupation of Poland. The name of the operation, "Operation Heads", was a sarcastic reference to the Totenkopf (Gr. 'skull') 'Death's Head' symbol of SS Nazi German uniforms and headgear.
