Uploading the MANY pictures I took on my trip to Eurofurence 27 in Hamburg last week.
This is very interesting. This structure is the massive Flakbunker of St.Pauli build in WW2 do defend the city against the allied air terror. Now it has been turned ito an apartment complex. You can still see the balconies on top where the anti aircraft guns were located.

Some where demolished but it always took multiple quite serious tries
We talk about highrise sized bunkers.
Type 1 , like this one had a wall thickness of 3,5 meters and roof was 5m . . .
And to quote someone who spend months beating a hole in some old shelter of the same time
"Forget the concrete of today , it doesn´t hold the water to the old ones "

For sure
I remember that the one at Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg was blown by the british , the pictures taken it looks liek a rocket that wanted to fly off with all the smoke coming out of the windows .
They managed to convert the inside to a gigantic hole . . . you will find that its still standing just recently got converted .
Build to be able to take direct hits and they did .
I remember the interview of an old man who used to be a boy helping to operate the guns as he recalled that men were blown of them of the blasts .
The soviets also managed to get some casle siege out of some in berlin , but found out that their guns could only scatch them .
