Skeletons missing hands and feet found in Hitler's Wolf's Lair

The Wolf’s Lair served as one of Hitler's military headquarters during World War Two and consisted of some 200 structures covering an area of 250 hectares. It was destroyed by German Nazi forces as they retreated in early 1945 to prevent it falling into the hands of the approaching Soviet Red Army.

 

What is left of the bunkers, shelters and barracks in the forest of Gierloz in northeastern Poland can now be visited by tourists. The home of Goering, who ran the Luftwaffe air force and became Germany's highest-ranking military officer and Hitler's designated successor, has largely fallen into decay.

 

"An unusual burial with strange features," Markiewicz said. "Without clothes... without hands and feet. And there were also minors... so we don't know what happened there. And the (Wolf's Lair) complex, the house, the Herman Goering villa are very telling too."
