Explore the famous location of the Hitler assassination attempt, 'Operation Valkyrie', which almost ended the Third Reich. Luke Tomes joins WW2 expert and Third Reich expert Jonny Whitlam to explore the remains of the Wolf's Lair complex today, imagining how decisions of such immense consequence were made in this remote, heavily fortified forest, and how close history came to taking a very different turn. During World War Two, Hitler spent most of his time in his secret bunker, making it the perfect location for a group of German officers to attempt to assassinate him.
