    About this ebook

    The 100th title in the Fortress series, this book describes and examines the Fôhrerhauptquartiere - the range of headquarters built for Hitler, including a specially armoured train. Revealing their locations and how they were used to direct the Nazi war apparatus, this is a fascinating insight into a range of historical sites across then-occupied Europe. With a map showing the locations of the various bunkers and fortifications, and illustrated with photographs and specially commissioned artwork, this book offers a fascinating insight into the war from Hitler's perspective, from the initial heady successes to his final hours in the Fôhrerbunker in Berlin.
