Hitler's Bunker in Bruly-de-Pesche in Couvin, Belgium

A moss-covered cement building in the woodlands near Brûly-de-Pesche, Namur Province, was once the bunker accompanying Hitler's temporary headquarters in June 1940. The site, code-named Wolfsschlucht or Wolf's Gorge, is discreetly located just a few kilometers from France. From here, Hitler orchestrated the Battle of France, starting on June 6, 1940.

The exhibits tell the story of Hitler's brief time in the area, incorporating objects and accounts from locals, resistance fighters, and their descendants. The site provides a unique perspective on the traumatic event from the locals' point of view. The exhibitions are designed to educate visitors about this significant period in history.
