Explorer Found Adolf Hitler’s Last Bunkers

Explorer and photographer Marc Askat braved the hunting season to walk through the thick wooded countryside in northern France. 

He was searching for a new subject for photographs and stumbled upon what is believed to be one of Adolf Hitler’s last bunkers— a place where the Nazi leader plotted the invasion of Britain.

Most people know that Hitler fled to a bunker in German territory in a failed attempt to salvage his ailing war efforts, but that wasn’t the only bunker Hitler used.

 

According to Askat, the doors and windows were covered with rusty shutters—designed to keep intruders out. The entrance looks like something out of an Indian Jones film'

The name of the bunker Marc Askat found was Führerhauptquartier Wolfsschlucht II, and Adolf Hitler wasn’t the only terrifying figure who resided there. 

The bunker served as the Nazis’ Western Front military command center and housed dozens of German officers and their staff.

Askat knew the importance of keeping the precise location a secret, even though he wanted to share his discovery with the world. Though the location of Hitler’s French hideout is concealed from the rest of the world, Askat’s photos give us a glimpse into the past without compromising the location.s.
