Personally, i'd label it as a 'German Government Building' the style is absolutely the same as that of the former Luftwaffe HQ in Berlin (only 3rd Reich govt building still standing in Berlin).

Jim I wouldnt label it just as that.
Now that I've seen the real deal,it looks like this type of building DIDN'T have balconys at the larger openings. So what kept the toddlers and wobblers from falling to their demise? what was the purpose of the yawning portals?

love the brick work and way to big for me as a diorama, just one question on the windows, would these all be broken without any window frames in sight, I mean how would the glass that you've shown all broken and smashed be held in place without a frame ?

WWII would not work, though -this kind of building -concrete base with brick walls- was not used back in the time

Looks to me like those openings had railings across the front (you can see where they are attached in the photo). From the look of the lower of the two openings in the photo, the top of the opening is undamaged, and there is no sign that there was a window frame there (there is obviously parts of a window frame in the adjacent window).

Because the were probably open to the elements, my guess is that those areas are the communal corridor parts of the building, leading from stairs to people's front doors, etc.
