Führerhauptquartier Tannenberg (also known as "Installation T") was a Führer Headquarters built in 1939 for use as a military command and control facility by Adolf Hitler. It was located near Freudenstadt and Hitler stayed there for a week in 1940 while inspecting the fortresses that formed the Maginot Line.
Hitler stayed at the Führerhauptquartier Tannenberg from 28 June to 5 July 1940, following the Fall of France, using it as a base from which to tour the fortresses of the Maginot Line.[5] This is the only time it was known to have been used by Hitler.[4]
Most of the buildings were demolished during the German withdrawal from the Western Front in 1945.[4] One building, which remained standing, was subsequently used to store fertilizer and other supplies by foresters.[4]
Tannenberg consisted of two concrete bunkers, one used as Hitler's private quarters and a second as a communications facility.[1] The site also included a number of wood-frame structures, including a mess hall, barracks, guest quarters, a conference center, and a guard house.[1] The perimeter of the complex was ringed with barbed wire.[1]
