BERLIN — The site of Hitler's bunker was marked publicly for the first time Thursday by a historical group trying to demystify one of the Third Reich's most burdened places.

The bunker's buried ruins lie below a parking lot, playground and adjacent apartment building. The Berlin Underworlds Association unveiled its new marker — a sign bearing graphics, photos and a chronology of events in both German and English — at the edge of a sidewalk.

"This is one of the most symbolic places in Berlin for the crimes the Nazis committed, and we want to make sure people know the whole truth about it," said Sven Felix Kellerhoff, an expert who works with the private group and wrote the book "The Fuehrer Bunker: Hitler's Last Refuge."

After the war, Soviet soldiers blew up most of the bunker and in the 1980s the remaining foundation and walls were filled with rubble, making it inaccessible.

KATMANDU, Nepal — Just days after a British climber was left to die near Mount Everest's summit, an American guide abandoned his second bid to stand on top of the world so he could rescue a mountaineer mistakenly given up for dead.Not only did Daniel Mazur not scale the world's highest peak from the northern side, he also failed to get his two paying clients to the top."It was very disappointing for me to miss my chance at the summit, but even more that I could not get my job done," Mazur, of Olympia, Wash., told The Associated Press upon returning to Nepal's capital, Katmandu, on Thursday.Mazur, his two clients and a Sherpa guide were just two hours from the 29,035-foot peak on the morning of May 26 when they came across 50-year-old Lincoln Hall, who was left a day earlier when his own guides believed he was dead.
