Bormanns Luftschutzbunker - a photo on Flickriver

Bormanns Luftschutzbunker

            Führerhauptquartiers Wolfsschanze (The Wolf`s Lair headquarters) in the Masurian woods of northern Poland on April 30, 2024. This area was a part of East Prussia until 1945. Sperrkreis I Martin Bormanns Luftschutzbunker. This massive colossus was constructed to protect Hitler`s private secretary Martin Bormann. He lived in a house close by and was supposed to flee into this bunker, when the air raid siren went off. The bunker was built in 1944 with a 7 meters thick reinforced concrete ceiling. Note that the outer walls slope inwards to limit the effect of shock waves, when bombs explodes nearby. The photographed corner belongs to the least damaged part of the bunker. Enormous amounts of explosives were used by retreating German troops to blow up Wolfsschanze during the night between 24 and 25 January 1945. The result was that other parts of this bunker completely cracked, as can be seen in later photos.
