I’m so confused why other Nazi-era supermassive buildings weren’t mentioned? For example Tempelhofer Feld, the still-standing Nazi-era airport,: “The airport halls and the adjoining buildings… are still known as one of the largest built entities worldwide” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Tempelhof_Airport

Also the Olympiastadion which has held up to 110,000 spectators
