Omtale

The 100th title in the Fortress series, this book describes and examines the Führerhauptquartiere – the 14 or so headquarters built for Hitler. This guide covers all of the essential locations and how they were used to direct the Nazi war apparatus, including the subterranean Führerbunker complex in Berlin where Hitler committed suicide, the infamous Wolfsschanze ('Wolf's Lair') in East Prussia, and the Eagle's Nest in Bavaria. With a map showing the locations of all of Hitler's bunkers and fortifications on the eastern and western fronts and illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this book is an essential introduction to Hitler's command structures and recreates numerous bunkers and buildings which were destroyed by Allied bombing raids or by fleeing German troops.
