The photograph depicts the bunker that housed Wehrmacht personnel, the German armed forces during the Third Reich. The structure, although damaged, still preserves the main entrance with its characteristic trapezoidal opening. Yellow signs provide visitor information and warn of dangers. The Wolfsschanze complex housed hundreds of people including officers, soldiers, secretaries and service personnel, all housed in bunkers and barracks scattered throughout the forest. The surrounding vegetation, with trees of different species, gives the place an atmosphere of tranquility that contrasts with its history.
