In this video, we explore the ambitious and unrealized plan for the world's largest stadium, envisioned by Adolf Hitler and his architect Albert Speer during Nazi Germany. With a planned capacity of over 400,000 people, this colossal stadium was to be built in Nuremberg, inspired by the ancient Greek Panathenaic Stadium and intended to host German sport events, including the Olympic Games. We delve into the history, the construction efforts halted by World War II, and the aftermath that turned the excavation site into a toxic no-swimming zone. Additionally, we uncover the secret project to test the stadium's acoustics and height in Oberklausen, 50 km away from Nuremberg. Join me as we reveal the remnants and stories behind this gigantic yet unfinished Nazi project.
