Felsennest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
At the start of the Western European campaign of 1940, the Felsennest (Rocky Eyrie) was the codename for Hitler's field headquarters near Muenstereifel. It was much more cramped than Hitler's other field bunkers, having only four rooms. Hitler was at the Felsennest in the autumn of 1939, because there were plans to invade France and the Low Countries. He was there again on May 10, 1944 when the invasion took place.
