 Money shortages in America, due to the Depression, plus soured relations with the Nazi regime (after 1933) further delayed the refurbishing of the damaged building.In fact Ambassador Dodd asked the State Department not to rebuild or refurbish on the site because of the use of Pariser Platz as a Nazi showcase for rallies and marches.In the meantime the embassy operated out of a location in the Tiergarten area on Stauffenbergstraße (then known as Bendlerstraße).
