August 9, 2024,Die Wolfsschanze in Görlitz, 🇵🇱 09.08.2024

Almost 50 bunkers, three heavily secured exclusion zones, a massive mine belt and perfectly camouflaged against aircraft. The "Wolf's Lair Führer's Headquarters" is Adolf Hitler's most frequently used headquarters. Here he discussed the war situation and the genocide of the Jews. And here he almost fell victim to an assassination attempt in July 1944.

This site, where Hitler once had countless bunkers (around 80) built in East Prussia, is very impressive but also oppressive. The largest, of course, was for himself. A cinema, a teahouse, and a casino were also built, among other things.
