To further demonstrate the extent of the looting, Vandivert snapped a picture of this heavy safe that had been blown open to reach the contents. It’s still unknown what exactly was inside, whether it be personal documents, money, gold, jewels, or even war plans.

However, whatever the contents were, they were taken from the bunker by the Russian soldiers. Most likely, some of the contents of the vault exist today and are serving as family heirlooms or are sitting on someone’s mantlepiece.

Hitler and Eva weren’t the only people to take their lives in the bunker.
