Wünsdorf, Military complex in Zossen, Germany.

The former Soviet military base spans across multiple buildings connected by underground tunnels and bunkers constructed with reinforced concrete walls and steel doors.

During World War II, Wünsdorf served as the Wehrmacht High Command headquarters, coordinating military operations through an extensive network of communication facilities.

The site included the first wooden mosque built in Germany in 1915, serving Muslim prisoners of war during World War I.

Visitors can join guided tours through the military installations, accessing preserved bunkers, barracks, and a collection of historical documents.

After Soviet withdrawal in 1994, Wünsdorf transformed into a book town, with numerous bookstores occupying former military buildings.
