INSIDE HITLER'S SECRET WW2 VILLAGE HIDEOUT & PERSONAL BUNKER

This small village of Bruly-de-Pesche near to the French-Belgian border was where Hitler oversaw the invasion of France in 1940. The entire village was taken over by German forces and given the codename Wolfsschlucht I (Wolf’s Gorge) and was the first of three ‘Wolfsschlucht’ Fuhrer HQ sites which would be built for the German leader during the war. Of the three, Wolfsschlucht I was the one he spent the longest time at with reports of Hitler occupying a chalet in the woods between June 6 and 26, 1940. At Bruly, as well as taking over the houses, school, farm, and church, Organisation Todt constructed two large wooden chalets and a single room, air-raid bunker in the woods. Today the secluded village - on the edge of the vast Foret de Gondreux - remains much the same as it did in 1940, with the exception of the church whose steeple was removed during the occupation and restored post war. The church itself became the HQ of the Organisation Todt, Hitler’s engineering and building organisation while the nearby school saw the establishment of the FHQ command centre where the advance through France could be plotted on large maps. Across the road was a communications and Press HQ which is now the site’s shop and starting point for tours. From the church you can take a trail through the woods where you can see the original concrete bunker plus two modern wooden chalets built in the 1990s which replaced the original buildings which were dismantled after Hitler left the site. The Fuhrer bunker itself isn’t much to look at – a 7m by 7m building with thick concrete walls and two armoured doors leading to an inner door and a tiny, single room inside.
