Welthauptstadt Germania ("World Capital Germania") was the projected renewal of the German capital Berlin during the Nazi period, part of Adolf Hitler's vision for the future of Germany after the planned victory in World War II. Albert Speer, the "first architect of the Third Reich", produced many of the plans for the rebuilt city in his capacity as overseer of the project, only a small portion of which was realized between the years 1937-1943 when construction took place. Some projects, such as the creation of a great East-West city axis, which included broadening Charlottenburger Chaussee (today Straße des 17. Juni) and placing the Berlin victory column in the center, far away from the Reichstag, where it originally stood, succeeded. Others, however, such as the creation of the Große Halle (Great Hall), had to be shelved owing to the beginning of war. A great number of the old buildings in many of the planned construction areas were however demolished before the war and eventually defeat stopped the plans. The ending is a little bit fucked up.

1. They should have build it. No matter if Nazis are there or not. This looks simply fantastic.
2. city looks awesome !
3. Hitler was stupid: Babylon had about 50 000 inhabitants. London had 7 millions. Hitler was just jealous.
4. I wish the project is resume after it's been forbidden to the public. If Hitler was alive, he would be truly impressed still after the end of World War II.

15. Nazi or Frederik II of Prusse !  Their regime or not ! Why they have all rejected ?    This architecture  is a good idea  for the heart of the Occidental affair ! U.S american have sucked all the Occidental power...&  take a  look on their economy... and all their wasted city!   What is the big deal when you kill Europe and his power of action and respect ?

19. Some of that architecture is fantastic although I don't care much for the design of the volkshalle. Any idea what the circular memorial structure at 13:44 is?
