“You are DAV I D I RV I N G I N V I T ES ... summoned to the Führer’s Headquarters!” Hermann Göring inspects the damaged map table at the Wolf ’s Lair. SS Gruppenführer Hermann Fegelein, Luftwaffe General Karl Koller, and Hitler’s adjutant Julius Schaub stand by. Mysteries of the Wolf’s Lair on july 20, 1944, German Army traitors attempted to kill Adolf Hitler by placing a suitcase bomb under his conference table at Rastenburg. Three of his staff were killed but he escaped with head injuries. Army doctors X-rayed his head at a nearby hospital. Was Field Marshal Rommel implicated? What about Hermann Göring? He not only headed Hitler’s air force but controlled the all-powerful wiretap agency, the Forschungsamt. Absent like Heinrich Himmler when the bomb went off, Göring hurried over to inspect the damaged table. Can he really have been in the dark about the plot? What did Himmler know? His Gestapo had their eyes and ears everywhere. Hitler made his favourite general, Erwin Rommel, a Field Marshal in June 1942. In November Rommel visited the Wolf ’s Lair after the Alamein defeat. Hitler’s adjutants Gerhard Engel (far left) and Nicholas von Below (below right) considered his loyalty above question. Summoned to the Wolf ’s Lair, his headquarters at Rastenburg, East Prussia, now part of Poland. Hitler with his top officers Hermann Göring (above) and Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler (below). SAID Mr Justice Gray at the end of the three-month trial of the Deborah Lipstadt libel action in 2002: “David Irving’s knowledge of World War II is unparalleled.” Let noted historian David Irving personally show you round Hitler’s secret World War II headquarters: “The Wolf’s Lair” FOR REAL HISTORY buffs, the unforgettable journey of a lifetime! The week-long tour of fabled wartime Nazi sites will start and end in Warsaw, Poland (with pick up points in England if required). Spend one day touring the dramatic, gigantic ruins deep in the forest at Rastenburg (now called Kętrzyn), site of the famous attempt on Hitler’s life in July 1944; afterwards Mr Irving lectures at a nearby resort hotel on the curious puzzle: What did Heinrich Himmler know in advance about the Stauffenberg plot? — It is a foretaste of Mr. Irving’s eagerly awaited biography of the Reich Führer of the SS. The next day Mr Irving takes his guests the short distance to the forest concealing Himmler’s own isolated headquarters at Pozedrze. Many people find the eight huge bunkers, which were only partially dynamited in 1944 and are hidden deep in the forest like the ruins of Aztec pyramids, even more redolent of Real History than the Wolf ’s Lair. From these historic sites Hitler planned his crusade into Joseph Stalin’s Russia in 1941, and Himmler oversaw his merciless operations against the partisans and Jews. There is more! Forget the phoney allures, mass-tourism and “reconstructions” of modern-day Auschwitz — the erstwhile slave-labour camp turned into a tourist attraction, complete with hot-dog vendors and souvenir stands! While some of Mr. Irving’s guests can choose to remain in Warsaw with an expert guide to tour the sites of the Polish Resistance, or just go shopping, he leads an optional all-day excursion to Treblinka, the idyllic forest location of one of Himmler’s real death-camp sites featured in the murderous Operation Reinhardt. The price for this week-long tour will include all hotel accmmodation, transfers and land transportation, and some meals and picnics; ask us for details of our special group air fare from London to Warsaw.
