The two adjoining villages of
Zossen and Wünsdorf, and the north-south road linking them, were enclosed within
a secure military area during WWII, the area is about 33 - 40 km S of Berlin.
The expected guide did not arrive at this site, and we were unable to see the
interiors of the bunkers. However, we were able to see the massive concrete
interiors (now wrecked by deliberate dynamiting) of the fake 'cottages' built to
hide bunker entrances, and some of us were able to explore to a small extent
below the wreckage.
Two large main bunkers were known as Maybach I and Maybach II - a long tunnel
linked them. The wrecked 'houses' each covered smaller bunkers
The installations (from WWII and
the Russians) are described and illustrated in some detail in the following
