Poland seeks tourism development of Hitler site

19 JAN: Poland is looking for an investor to turn the 'Wolf's Lair' of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler into a tourist attraction, according to a report today by news agency Reuters. The ruins of Hitler's fortress complex deep in the woodlands of northeastern Poland are famed as the site of a July 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler by Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg - popularised by a 2008 film Valkyrie, starring Tom Cruise.

The Wolf’s Lair served as one of Hitler's military headquarters during World War 2 and was destroyed by the Nazi forces as they retreated in early 1945.

The site, the name of which refers to Hitler’s nickname, 'Mr. Wolf', consisted of 80 buildings at its peak and is owned by the local forestry authority.
