Well should we preserve it for posterity? Life goes on ... this site will be here forever.
You want to hang onto it! Why?

It's a Nazi bunker. Hello?
I was stationed at Tempelhof Airport with the USAF from 1973-75 (1946th Communications Squadron, Heavy Radar). This building was designed by Albert Speer. It was, at the time, the third largest building in the world in terms of volume. The building was part of Hitler's grand vision for Berlin. It was also the site of the Berlin Airlift. Are you saying we should have just blown it up? How about Saddam's palaces? If they have a function, use them. If not, plow them under and build something else. Just because some sick Fascist or IslamoFascist ordered them built doesn't mean we should tear them down out of spite.
Just my opinion...
