Wolf's Lair (Wolfsschanze)

Highlight • Historical Site

Wolfsschanze (also Wolfschanze) was the code name for a military situation center of the command staff of the German Wehrmacht and one of the Führer headquarters during the Second World War near Rastenburg (now Kętrzyn) near the village of Görlitz (Gierłoż) in East Prussia, in present-day Poland.

Adolf Hitler himself gave the system the code name, based on the pseudonym he used, "Wolf", which can be traced back to the meaning of his first name Adolf and which he mainly used in his private correspondence in the 1920s. [2] Another code name of the Führer Headquarters East was "Görlitz".

The Wolfsschanze was built above ground from 1940 by the Todt Organization. To protect against aerial reconnaissance, it was in a dense forest under non-combustible camouflage nets and was covered with a camouflaging mortar. Numerous flak positions secured against air raids. [3] A total of around 100 different objects and buildings were erected in the area between 1940 and 1944. The construction site had the cover name "Chemical Works Askania". [4] Since 1941, with the beginning of the war against the Soviet Union (Operation Barbarossa), the Wolfsschanze was Hitler's main residence.

Immediately after Parcz, the local line turns to a closed train station. From here a very sandy stretch begins until shortly before Doba.
