Leader headquarters Brunhilde

Remains (2011)

The Fuehrer's headquarters in Brunhilde (also known under the code name “Gypsies”) was built in the Second World War near Arsweiler near Diedenhofen in the CdZ area of Lorraine . Large parts of the complex have been preserved to this day. The facility was built within existing tunnels of the Maginot Line and covered a tunnel area of 15,300 square meters. The facility was designed to accommodate both Hitler and his management staff as well as Heinrich Himmler and the OKH . The whole area was made accessible by a narrow-gauge railway. A few wooden barracks and two larger bunkers were built above ground . One of these bunkers has the same design as the Wolfsschlucht 2 pilot bunker in Margival near Soissons .
