Leader headquarters Olga
The Führer Headquarters Olga was a bunker system built near the city of Orsha in the Soviet Union during the Second World War .
The facility was built between July and September 1943 by the Todt organization on the Brest - Moscow road connection called by the Wehrmacht Rollbahn near Orscha, around 200 kilometers northeast of Minsk . The complex consisted of a bunker , a few log houses and several wooden barracks. The first discussions about the construction of the facility took place on June 20, 1943 in the Wolfschanze in East Prussia . For the further planning of the construction project, senior site manager Müller was on site for the first time on June 27, 1943. The project was never completed and abandoned in October 1943 after the Citadel company was demolished and the German Wehrmacht withdrew . By the time the project was canceled, around 400 cubic meters of concrete had been built and barracks and log houses with 3599 square meters of floor space had been built. The bunker complex intended for Hitler was not completed.
