Five Human Skeletons Found at Hitler's Wolf's Lair HQ

A grim discovery has been made at Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's infamous Wolf's Lair military headquarters in present-day Poland. Amateur archaeologists have uncovered the remains of five human skeletons, all missing their hands and feet, buried inside the villa once belonging to Hermann Goering, the powerful commander of the Luftwaffe air force.

The skeletal remains, including those of three adults, a baby, and an older child, were found just below the ground in an area where a wooden floor once existed, according to officials. The chilling find was made by members of the Latebra Foundation, a group of amateur archaeologists who have been excavating the site with official permission for several years.

"You'd never expect such things in such a place as it was...the most guarded place in the Third Reich, and after the war, the Russians took over this place," said Dominik Markiewicz, a member of Latebra. "Everyone wondered what might have happened there...We tried to think of something, but nothing reasonable comes to mind."

Markiewicz expressed bewilderment over the disturbing discovery, questioning whether the skeletons were remnants of occult rituals practiced by Nazi fanatics during World War II or if they had been buried there at a later time. "We didn't know what we were dealing with at all," he added.

Sebastian Trapik, deputy head of education and tourism promotion at the Srokowo Forest District, the Polish government agency responsible for the site, confirmed that the bodies were found buried just below the ground in a part of Goering's villa.

The prosecutor's office in the nearby city of Olsztyn has opened an investigation into the matter, and forensic investigators have examined the skeletal remains under police supervision.

The Wolf's Lair, one of Hitler's main military headquarters during WWII, consisted of over 200 structures spanning 250 hectares. It was intentionally destroyed by German forces in 1945 to prevent it from falling into Soviet hands. Today, the remnants of the bunkers, shelters, and barracks in the Gierloz forest can be visited by tourists, although Goering's villa has largely decayed.

"An unusual burial with strange features," remarked Markiewicz. “Without clothes...without hands and feet. And there were also minors...so we don't know what happened there. And the (Wolf's Lair) complex, the house, the Herman Goering villa are very telling too.”
