Wolfs Lair Hitler's Headquarters Private Transfers from Gdansk

In the heart of Masuria on the North of Poland, in the deep forest, there are ruins of what used to be Adolf Hitler’s headquarters. Built in Gierloz in 1940-44, it attracts tourists with its dark atmosphere and a warning closed in the walls of the damaged buildings. Hitler named it ‘Wolf’s Lair’ as a reference to his pseudonym ‘Her Wolf’, which he used to sign articles in the 1920's. Hitler's Headquarters, like most war locations, was very well camouflaged. The town hidden in the forest consists of 200 buildings in total: shelters, barracks, 2 airports, a power plant, a railway station, air-conditioning equipment, water supply, heating plant and two teletype panels. In 1944, more than 2,000 people lived there. Hitler himself spent over 800 days in the Wolf's Lair. On July 20, 1944, Colonel Count Claus Schenk von Stauffenberg made an unsuccessful attempt on Adolf Hitler’s life. Hitler survived the explosion and brutally dealt with his opponents.
