The Wolf's Lair served as Adolf Hitler's first Eastern Front military headquarters in World War II.The headquarters was located in the Masurian woods, near the small village of Görlitz in Ostpreußen , about 8 kilometres east of the small East Prussian town of Rastenburg , in present-day Poland. Being one of the most heavily guarded places in the world, the central complex and the Führer's bunker was surrounded by three security zones guarded by two SS units: the SS-Begleitkommando des Führers, and the Reichssicherheitsdienst. The Wehrmacht's armoured Führerbegleitbrigade was held in readiness nearby but, as a part of the Heer's elite Großdeutschland Division, was used to counter-attack Red Army break-throughs in Army Group Centre's front and rescue cut-off Heer, Luftwaffe fallschirmjager and SS panzer troops.
