Russian Federation. Kaliningrad. 2001.Director of The Bunker Museum .Located in front of Kaliningrad University across from the Kant memorial, the bunker served as the underground command post of German General Otto von Lasch during the war. Diagrams - incomprehensible to non-Russian speakers - illustrate the Red Army's conquest of Konigsberg in 1945. Somewhat easier to understand are the museum's numerous photographs and graphic dioramas of street battles. Visitors can also see room 13, where von Lasch signed the German capitulation. Another room offers souvenirs, surprisingly not war-time memorabilia, but amber and ceramic items. There are some explanations in English and German and the staff speaks German well.
