Führerhauptquartier Wolfsschlucht II

Wolfsschlucht II was one of Adolf Hitler’s remote headquarters in France. It was built in 1940 for use during the upcoming invasion of England (Operation Sealion).

It occupied a very large area and included a railway tunnel to Hitler's personal train, 18 anti aircraft guns, five bunkers equipped with a heavy machine guns inside a armoured turret, one with two heavy machine guns inside a armoured turret and a field of fire of 360°. There were bunkers for living, housing, communication, etc

Hitler only visited the facility at  Margival once,  on 17 June 1944. He met with von Rundsted and Erwin Rommel to discuss the Allied landings in Normandy (D-day) 11 days before.

The area is accessible today and most of the bunkers are open to the public.
