Despite it being increasingly clear to the organisers of the project that it would never be finished in time to make a difference in the war, the construction of Weingut I was approved on a 6 month time-line. Of a total of 10,000 workers who worked on the project, 8,500 were forced laborers and inmates of the Mühldorf concentration camp network. Of these more than 3,000 would die of overwork, underfeeding, and SS brutality. By the war's end, only 7 of the planned total of 12 bunker sections had been built, and construction of the factory itself had not begun.

  • It is recommended that the U.S. Army avail itself of the opportunity to test the resistance of this type of construction by actually subjecting one of the arches to a full scale bombing… Test bombing is recommended because: This type of construction might be adopted for war-time industrial installations in the United States or its possessions, and; this uncompleted building with little or no future utility provides a rare opportunity to conduct a full-scale bombing test.

abstract
  • Despite it being increasingly clear to the organisers of the project that it would never be finished in time to make a difference in the war, the construction of Weingut I was approved on a 6 month time-line. Of a total of 10,000 workers who worked on the project, 8,500 were forced laborers and inmates of the Mühldorf concentration camp network. Of these more than 3,000 would die of overwork, underfeeding, and SS brutality. By the war's end, only 7 of the planned total of 12 bunker sections had been built, and construction of the factory itself had not begun. After the liberation of the area and its associated camps in May 1945, control of the construction site fell to the US Army, which made extensive studies of its innovative construction techniques before demolishing all but one section of the main bunker in 1947. Today the bunker grounds are a listed monument. Occasional tours of the site are offered by a Catholic nonprofit group in Mühldorf.
