The Bullenhuser Damm School is located at 92–94 Bullenhuser Damm in the Rothenburgsort section of Hamburg, Germany – the site of the Bullenhuser Damm Massacre, the murder of 20 children and their adult caretakers at the very end of World War II's Holocaust – to hide evidence they were used as human subjects in brutal medical experimentation.During heavy air raids in the Second World War, many areas of Hamburg were destroyed, and the Rothenburgsort section was heavily damaged. The school was only slightly damaged. By 1943, the surrounding area was largely obliterated so the building was no longer needed as a school. In October 1944, a subcamp of the Neuengamme concentration camp was established in the school to house prisoners used in clearing the rubble after air raids. The Bullenhauser Damm School was evacuated on April 11, 1945. Two SS men were left to guard the school: SS Unterscharführer Johann Frahm and SS Oberscharführer Ewald Jauch, and the janitor Wilhelm Wede. On the night of April 20, 1945, 20 Jewish children, who had been used as human subjects in medical experiments at Neuengamme, along with their four adult caretakers and six Soviet prisoners, were injected with morphine and suspended from their necks to die on the basement walls of the school. Later that evening, 24 Soviet prisoners were brought to the school to be murdered. The names, ages and countries of origin of the victims, who'd transited through the Neuengamme concentration camp, were recorded by Hans Meyer, one of the thousands of Scandinavian prisoners released to the custody of Sweden in the closing months of the war.

Berliner Tor deep bunker is a deep bunker near Berliner Tor station in Hamburg, Germany. The structure was originally constructed in 1940 by the government of Nazi Germany as a civilian refuge from bombing. The deep bunker had a capacity of 1000 people, and provided refuge from the firestorm caused by Operation Gomorrah, a concerted raid of bombing with incendiary weapons during the allied bombing of Hamburg in 1943 which resulted in over 35,000 deaths. In the Cold War period, it was reused as a nuclear bunker by the post-war West German government, and extensively renovated for that use, with the renovations finished in 1963.
