Wolf's Lair - Inside Hitler's East Prussian HQ
By Ian Baxter
Published by The History Press: UK 2009 1st Edition

"Ian Baxter's Wolf's Lair: Inside Hitler's East Prussian HQ (2009) provides a revealing look into one of the most secretive and heavily fortified command centres of the Second World War. Situated deep in the forests of East Prussia, the Wolfsschanze ("Wolf's Lair") served as Adolf Hitler's primary military headquarters for much of the conflict, where he directed operations on the Eastern Front and held countless strategic conferences with his inner circle. Drawing on rare photographs, military records, and eyewitness accounts, Baxter reconstructs the daily life, operations, and atmosphere within this vast complex of bunkers, barracks, and security zones, highlighting the oppressive paranoia and rigid hierarchy that defined Hitler's wartime command structure.

The book not only explores the architecture and layout of the Wolf's Lair but also delves into the psychological landscape of those who lived and worked there. Baxter examines the Führer's routines, his interactions with generals and staff, and the tightening sense of isolation and delusion that marked the later war years. The narrative culminates with the July 1944 assassination attempt by Claus von Stauffenberg, which unfolded within the Wolf's Lair itself—an event that symbolised the internal collapse of the Nazi regime's moral and strategic coherence. Combining visual documentation with concise historical commentary, Wolf's Lair offers both an architectural and human portrait of the hub of Hitler's war machine."
