Do you know that if Hitler win victory in World War II by 1945, the whole Berlin will be very different with what you see today? Today Berlin maybe as picture above, a city which full of bloated marble architecture.
Adolf Hitler had his vision, to build a supercity in Berlin as he called that as World Capital. Adolf Hitler called it Germania, capital of the Nazi-run world. “Berlin will only be comparable with the Ancient Egyptians, Babylonians or Romans,” And he wanted to exceed the quality of other world capitals such as London, Paris and especially Rome.
Hitler planned to create buildings bigger and better than anything that had gone before. He admired a lot of masterpiece such like Hadrian's Pantheon and Colosseum in Rome, also the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. And that is the main reason Hitler was inspired and got this supercity plan afterwards. But his dream was never fully realized and it died with him at the end of World War II. Only now after six decades of research and using new computer graphic technology is it possible to recreate the city that Hitler had intended for his people. This is Hitler’s lost world.
Below picture is the Volkshalle (“People's Hall”), also called Große Halle (“Great Hall”) was a huge monumental building planned by Hitler and his architect Albert Speer. And this plan was inspired by Pantheon in Rome.
