For everyone, who is interested in history, especially World War II, the Masuren Lake area, especially around Mamerki in Eastern Poland🇵🇱, could be interesting. Here, near the small town formerly known as Rastenburg was Hitler's Command Headquarter (Wolfsschanze or Wolf's Lair) for the Russia Feldzug, codenamed Operation Barbarossa. The bunkers here are one of the bulkiest & most gigantic ever built in a short time in 1941, able to withstand the heaviest aircraft bombs of its time. They were basically build like a box within a box🏦. At the beginning of your walkabout around that huge complex, you'll get an audio guide, that describes in detail, which bunker you're visiting, where the unsuccessful assassination attempt of Stauffenberg against Hitler took place and how the whole complex was finally destroyed in November 1944 by German Detonation Engineers (Zappers☄️), 2 days after Hitler got evacuated, when the Red Army advanced into Eastern Prussia🏞️. They also have in a separate nearby exhibition several vehicles & planes to visit, as well as the huge site of 30+ Bunkers of the OKH (Oberkommando des Heeres) in nearby Mamerki. The eerie silence here and the countless mosquitoes just add to the forsaken atmosphere in these dark woods. ☠️ -- #EastPoland #Polen #EastPrussia #Rastenburg #Wolfsschanze #WolfsLair #HighCommand #WorldWarII #MilitaryHistory #Stauffenberg #Bunker #Bunkers #BunkersOfWW2 #HitlersBunkers #OperationBarbarossa #Mamerki #OKH #Detonations #Forsaken #ForsakenPlace #ForsakenPlaces #WilczySzaniec #WW2 #ThirdReichHistory #ThirdReichMilitaria (at Wolfsschanze) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQtTN9wp6my/?utm_medium=tumblr
