Think of Germany and you think of Hitler, well not always but Hitler is never far away is he? Since he allegedly blew his brains out in his Berlin Bunker at the end of WWII many have speculated about what really happened to Adolf.

Mein Bunker explores one of the more ludicrous, although not totally unfeasible theories, that Hitler may have escaped the Russian and Allied advance.

The story goes like this..

In the closing moments of WWII, Hitler gathers his remaining devoted followers to say farewell. The Russians are about to storm the bunker but the Fuhrer’s chief scientific advisor, Professor Fugger, has a brilliant plan. His new cryogenic freezing technique will put the German high command into a deep sleep. They will be spirited out of Berlin and to a place no-one would ever think of looking for them - underneath Buckingham Palace.

Many years pass and the Duke of Edinburgh constantly complains to the Queen he can hear German marching music and the sound of goose-stepping at midnight. Her Majesty dismisses his suspicions but does she know more than she is letting on? Could there be a connection with the palace and all the robberies committed by the elusive Robert Mugabe Gang? And what on earth is the Spanky Monkey Club?

 Something strange is going on and there’s only one way to get to the bottom of it. Come and see Mein Bunker.
