Another angle of the Luftwaffe building. These pictures do not do justice to it's size, since what appears to be a complete building is in fact only about 25% of it. Being the largest building in Berlin during the war and very clearly visible from the air, you'd expect it to have been damaged a lot during the air raids. Well guess again, only a single stray bomb hit it during all the countless air raids over Berlin, whereas a lot of the surrounding buildings were completely demolished. Consider that during the Battle of Britain not a single German bomb was dropped on the Royal Air Force headquarters either and you'll probably start getting the picture. What admirable gentlemenly comradrie.
