Führer Headquarters
Guide Headquarters ( FHQ ) was the general name for a command post of Adolf Hitler as Supreme Commander of the Wehrmacht during the Second World War.
In addition to the well-known Wolf's Lair, there were a total of 20 other leaders headquarters in the German Reich and the occupied territories, not all of which were completed by the end of the war in 1945.
