Wolf's Lair
July 19, 2005
I made the 6:40am bus and around noon I arrived at Ketrzyn. I got extremely lucky
and caught the first bus to Hitler’s bunker and later the first bus back to Warsaw.
Hitler’s bunker was pretty surreal. The place was extremely well hidden and some
buildings you still missed until you were practically right on top of them. Each
had concrete about ten feet thick and most were covered in moss so as to camouflage
them. In addition, they used to have trees on the roof and screens that changed
colors with the seasons.
Although it said not to, I walked into Hitler’s bunker, along with nearly everyone
else. The place was packed, mostly Germans and Poles, but I also heard Dutch and
French, although not a single American or Brit.
