-- Also aired as "Nazi Megastructures" in NatGeo --
In the quest for world domination, the Nazis built some of the biggest and deadliest pieces of military hardware and malevolent technology in history.
With brilliant, dark minds and a legion of slave labor at their disposal, the Nazis believed the path to ultimate victory was to out-build and out-engineer their enemies. To them, bigger definitely meant better, and better meant more lethal.
As Hitler's grip on Europe tightened, he ordered men like Wernher von Braun, Ferdinand Porsche and Alfried Krupp to build increasingly outlandish machines and structures to realize his master plan. Creating huge terror machines, hi-tech superguns and some of the original weapons of mass destruction to control a nation, conquer a continent and win the war.
This is World War II told from a new perspective. The series uncovers the engineering secrets of six iconic mega-structures, tells the stories of the evil geniuses that designed them and reveals how these structures sparked a technological revolution that changed warfare forever.

6) Fortress Berlin
April 1945. Hitler is in the center of Berlin, 10 meters underground, surrounded by four-meter thick concrete walls, safe from any air attack the Allies can throw at him. But the Russians are advancing on the ground - the Red Army is lined up along the Oder River and going for the Fuhrer. Their main goal, on Stalin's personal orders, is to capture the "Fuhrer".
However, the city is surrounded in several rings with sophisticated defense technology. Blocking the way are rings of ingenious defenses, kill zones and strong-points that have turned Berlin into a fortress. This system of death zones and defensive bases made Berlin a fortress that could only be taken with great losses. At the heart of this fortress is the Fuhrerbunker.
