wolf slayer

it isn't exactly called "wolf slayer", but in english it is called the wolf's lair.  but for the longest time i thought people were calling it the "wolf slayer"!  who knew!

really the wolf's lair is a place that hitler retreated.  he had bunkers built for protection and they were camouflaged.  here is a link with a little more information than i could give you.

my family was able to visit here last year when they came to visit but i failed to take any pictures.

here is  map of the camp.


here is one of the sides of the several bunkers.  all at this place have been destroyed.


our tour guide is the lady in the hat.  she knows her hitler information!


and even after living here for 17 months, it is still a surprise at times that i live in a foreign country.  every so often i tell myself that i live in poland.  i am not sure if it is because i am getting used to it now that it is a surprise when i remember it.  but it is also a shock to see a sign in 4 different languages.  starting in the top left and going clockwise would be english, german, polish, and russian(i think).
