What would YOU expect to find in a Secret German Underground Bunker?


I really want to say Secret Germans 

But seriously I think a Cryogenic Tank or two would not look out of place.   Maybe a Morgue / Butchers block where autopsies are done.

Lots of death traps... oh yes and also a contol panel with a Big Red Button saying SELF DISTRUCT on it! No mad lab is complete without one.

I am really liking everyones ideas. Even the weird and wacky ones. Some of these can be toned down (if needed) to make them actually useable. There was a couple that even made me laugh and these are good too.

[Jim French]

Definitely, a situation room.  A gym for keeping fit underground. [Without day/night, time becomes sort of meaningless.]

[Cosmotiger]

A bar with a stage to listen Lili Marlene song during long boring evenings in winter.

Somebody already mentioned "a vault full of booty."   

[HerbyF]

Stolen(collected) anticquities. Labs for every thing from alien technology to occult research. Doorways or passages that have been hastily sealed up. Who knows what awaits on the other side. The History Channel has several really good programs about what has actually been found in these bunkers.

[fastolfrus]

An escape tunnel (the official one with a door and sign saying "emergency exit"), a secret escape tunnel (probably hidden behind a bookcase oe filing cabinet and for use of senior staff/scientist only), and the "secret tunnel nobody knows about but we found it on these archaeological reports on the castle, it dates back to the 13th/10th/4th century and probably opens into the drain/chimney/back of the Fuhrer's wardrobe" (delete as appropriate).

Some kind of office shredded or incinerator for destroying 85% of secret documents just before you get to them (but obviously not the one really vital piece of paper).

Filing cabinets full of mundane reports, petty cash receipts, and old memos.

A room with a large organ so that a crazed musician can play stirring/eerie music.

A hospital, probably with connecting doors to the research laboratories so that patients can be whisked away for experimentation or so that the crazed creations can escape and wreak havoc amongst the patients.

Lots of posters on the walls. And official signs. No smoking, emergency exit, etc.

Well the totally unexpected, so the spainish inquisition?

[Commander Vyper]

Everything we've seen in Escape and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. (So occult, alien, teutonic ghouls and wraiths, arks of various covenants, zombies, mecha, scientists, slaves, body parts, doomsday devices.

These bits of scenery I painted up for GrindHouse and Fenris games:

[Hat Guy]

Ok everyone, The Commander's done it already, we can't compete. Pack up and go home. 

[Jakar Nilson]

Ok everyone, The Commander's done it already, we can't compete. Pack up and go home. 

No, we've got to stay in character to this thread. We hitch a ride on a gondola and we storm his bunker!

[Parzival]

A large, complicated laboratory apparatus surrounding a visible cabbage, which is clearly a central part of the device. Any captured scientist is extremely reluctant to explain the device, or the existence of the cabbage.
 

(Obviously, this is an unstable prototype, as later researchers will discover that a watermelon is a far more effective component.)

[Modhail]

-A sub pen, leading into an underwater section of the Rhein (or other body of water)?
-a Large hall for assemblies/speeches/oktoberfests?
-experimental hydroponic gardens?
-some very confused Morlocks that just dug in through a bunker wall?
-a post office, containing, among others, several postcards from places like: Brazil, Antarctica and Tibet. Plus a hand-drawn one from Hastings (saying "The battle is a lot fiercer than in the history books. Wish you could be here too! Love, Dr E. Braun")?

[apeekaboo]

• A lab for human engineering, with baskets containing left-over body parts. Pools of blood on the floor.
• Torture chamber with chains on the walls and gruesome machines. Blood splashes on the walls.
• Dinner salon with long tables (bier halle!).
• Radio/com room
• Storage rooms for alien artifacts and mythological relics
• Generator room
• Prison cells
• Kitchen
• Sleeping quarter
• Armory
• Elevators

Judging by my last visit to a secret German bunker I would expect to see a selection of unknown brands, a rather dubious slection of packaged meat, cheap toilet paper, cheapish Sekt and oddly enough diving flippers and reasonably priced portable camping toilets.
