A Polish explorer claims he has found massive underground structure in southwestern Poland that, he says, the Nazis built as a nuclear shelter for Hitler.
Speaking on TVN24, Szpakowski said the structure was part of a system of railway tunnels and corridors that the Nazis were building during World War II around the city of Walbrzych. His conference was hosted by Walbrzych regional authorities.

Just don’t send Geraldo over there.
Has Rupert Murdoch bid on it yet?
Same tunnel complex, it sounds like.
If he isn’t in it, he wasted the money.
I can buy that it was a forward Eastern Front command center for Hitler, a “Wolfs Lair” on steroids.
But even if the Nazis thought they might get nuked (doubtful) there no way they would have put the bunker in Poland. It would have been built under some Austrian mountain within a reasonable distance of Berchtegaden.
He might find Hitlers lost license plate.
Before 1945, Walbrzych was known as Waldenburg, and it was located in Niederschlesien (Lower Silesia), Germany.
Der Fuhrer apparently knew that he was gonna lose the nuke race.
Air Raid shelter or bombardment shelter - OK, 'nuclear shelter' is way too much anachronistic as a description! These kind of thing cannot be erected / dug overnight and would probably have been designed like the U-Boat docks on the Atlantic coast to resist bombs like the British "Tall Boy" & "Grand Slam". I know it is just language but this is a bit much!
Send him anyway. Then dynamite the tunnel entrances.
Again, thats doubtful.
It’s not that the Nazis didn’t know a bomb was theoretically possible, just that given their own challenges with building one they never would have mentally accepted that anyone else could surmount those challenges before they did.
Just like the Soviet bomb and Sputnik were such blows to the US.

According to the city's official website, the early Polish name of the settlement was Lasogród ("forest castle").
The German name Waldenburg (also meaning "forest castle") referred to the castle Nowy Dwór (German: Burg Neuhaus), whose ruins stand south of the city; the name came to be used for the entire settlement. It first appeared in the 15th century, coming from the words Wald (forest) and Berg (mountain) later associated with the castle.
The modern Polish name "Wałbrzych" comes from the German name Walbrich, a late medieval linguistic variation of the older names "Wallenberg" or "Walmberg".

Yeah, you’re right.
He never would have accepted that a weak mongrel democracy with so many Jewish scientists working on the project could have beaten him to the bomb.
By any chance, did they also unearth a copy of “The Day the Clown Cried?”
The public schools have entirely failed patriotic America.
Hitler had many extensive underground bunkers and facilities built, what exactly singles this one out as a Nuke shelter?
The public schools have served their intended purpose.
The sign on the wall that ends with “and kiss your a** goodbye!”.
