Although the light was fading rapidly as this photo was taken, it still shows the monumental scale of this air raid shelter extension to an existing block of flats. The original 'heritage' style dormer windows (shown in the architect's drawing on page 112 of Bauen unterm Hakenkreuz have been rebuilt in a more modern style).
