Hitler’s Headquarters 1939-1945 is a superb photographic record of the full range of headquarters from where Hitler exerted his iron grip on the Nazi war effort. Being pathological about his security, he divided his time between his numerous HQs spread across his empire.

These HQs include his Berlin bunker, the Wolf’s Lair (Wolfschanze), The Eagle’s Nest and the Führer’s train. Through images, captions and supporting text, the author describes the extraordinary lengths that the Nazis had to go to meet the Führer’s requirements.
