The reverse of the card reads Reichsarbeitsdienstlager-the word you use above with the "lager" extension. So I see it is a RAD camp.

Thanks, you guys have done a good job on these pictures. The Potsdamer Platz and Paradeplatz were I assume bombed beyond repair. Shame to loose the nice old architecture and the green space at the A. Hitler Plaza.

I have no idea where this is, but it appears that someone has done quite a bit of trenching.

Excellent photos! Good work on getting them posted. I would like to visit some of these sites.

I wonder if there is anything left or any recognized area of the "Fuhrer Bunker" in Berlin? I thought I had heard at one time a parking lot had been buildt over the site.

Parking lot indeed:
