The remains of Hitler's personal guard building, the SS and Reichssicherheitsdienst

The image shows the ruins of the building that housed the SS (Schutzstaffel) and RSD (Reichssicherheitsdienst), Hitler's personal security service. Unlike the concrete bunkers, this structure was built of brick, as evidenced by the red walls still partially standing. The building, located along one of the internal roads of the complex, served as the first checkpoint for access to the most restricted areas. The SS of the Führer's personal guard were responsible for the internal security of headquarters, while the RSD coordinated protection during movements.
