Talk:Vorbunker

Content fork?
Do enough sources make the distinction between the Vorbunker and the Führerbunker as a second floor below the Vorbunker? Even the source used in the article is called the "The Reich Chancellery and Führerbunker Complex."

 * It seems to me that the two articles should be merged. Nick-D (talk) 08:54, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't believe they should be merged. They were two seperate bunkers with the two connected by the staircase mentioned. With that said, I will go with consensus. I can write more but must go for now. Kierzek (talk) 12:46, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The way it is written in the "After the Battle" magazine article is:"...the firm was recalled to build a new bunker...Although never completed this became the lower, or Führerbunker, which was connected to the old shelter, or Vorbunker, by a staircase. The two bunkers could be separated by a bunkhead and steel door which was permanently guarded by two sentries." (page 28). It is important to note the writer, historian Andrew Mollo, refers to "the two bunkers" and how they are separate. Kierzek (talk) 02:31, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Footnote: In further checking sources, both James O'Donnell, of "The Bunker" book and Joachim Fest, of "Inside Hitler's Bunker: The Last Days of the Third Reich", refer to the two bunkers separately. Kierzek (talk) 15:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
