FHQu "Wehrwolf" - a virtual visit anno 1942...

Hello,

The result of 15 on-site visits, the analysis of a 1.000 archival pictures and 5 years of study is the complete construction of the Highest Security Zone (Sperrkreis 1) of the unknown Führerhauptquartier "Wehrwolf" in 3D.

I built the zone anno 1942 and with meteo and sun conditions (= shadows) as can be observed in most of the available pictures (BPK, Ullstein, National Archives, Walter Frentz and my own collection).

I got my complete results in a professional software for architects and landscape builders: Lumion 6 PRO. This software also offers an on-line Beta-version (only temporarily) which can be visited and viewed by any modern device (computer, tablets, smartphone etc.). As it is restricted to 10 viewing positions, I will offer our members two tours:

- Tour 1: "The Lagerstrasse" = 10 viewing positions around the asphalt main road, the backbone of these headquarters; and
- Tour 2: "Hitler and the OKW" = 10 viewing positions on the dustfree walkpaths and the main buildings for Hitler and the OKW-Staff.

For Tour 1 ("The Lagerstrasse"):

Note that every viewing position offers you a complete free 360° look-around possibility. Just rotate the complete scene with your mouse, your fingers or the keyboard arrows (left, right, up and down). NO zooming yet!

The ten viewing positions are indicated on the map below and are:

1. The Main Gate (entrance between Sperrkreis 2 and 1);
2. The Luftschutzbunker (a dug-in emergency shelter for 10 persons);
3. The SS-Begleitkommando (and female secretaries);
4. The so-called Common Bunker (a Regelbau 102);
5. The Tea House (Nr 19) and the Kasino;
6. Houses Nr 8 & 9 - Sauna;
7. House Nr 9 - Communications Center;
8. House Nr 15: "Gästehaus";
9. House Nr 6: "Pressehaus";
10. Kommandantur - Hotel.

I know that the characters (persons, soldiers and Generals) are not 100% historical correct and show some flaws. They are placed for comparison and to give some "life" to the Headquarters.

Tour 2 ("Hitler and the OKW") will be here tomorrow.

Enjoy your visit....
