Wolf's Lair, Military headquarters in Kętrzyn, Poland.

The concrete complex contained 80 camouflaged buildings, including 50 bunkers, surrounded by minefields and barbed wire within dense forest.

The German military command center operated from 1941 to 1944, serving as the main strategic base for the Eastern Front campaign.

The site preserves the remnants of World War II military architecture, with remaining structures displaying the engineering methods of the period.

The bunker complex opens daily for guided tours, featuring exhibits about military operations and architectural details of the fortification system.

Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg attempted to assassinate Hitler in this location on July 20, 1944, placing explosives during a military conference.
