This is an original and very special "Bunker Patrol" specifically designed for our Sharkhunters. For years, our Members have been demanding this "Bunker Patrol" deep into areas of Poland once controlled by the Reich.
We tour the fortress Spandau (above left)
In Berlin, we tour the mansion, the place of the so-called 'Wansee Conference' (above right) and we also tour the mansion Karlshorst in which Jodl signed the German surrender. It is just the way it was on the day of this signing.
An entire day is devoted to the Headquarters of the OKW (Military High Command) and their bunkers, tunnels and other fortifications just outside Berlin (photos below).
(Above left) - Hitler's assassination was planned in this building.
(Above right) - we are some 40 meters deep in the tunnel and bunker system here.
Heading east, we visit the massive fortification "Oder Warthe Bogen" (photos below) similar to the Siegfried Line with forts, bunkers, gun emplacements and connecting tunnels.
We visit Fort #V!! (Columb) and the town of Poznan. After our visit to this historic place, we move on to Torun and visit the Cathedral of Gneses was well as the house of Copernicus.
After our dinner here, we enjoy a pleasant stroll along the Wistula (Weichsel) promenade in Torun.
NOTE - Both Breakfast AND Dinner are included in your "Patrol" price!
We visit the old city section of Poznan, also Fort #2 then in the famous city of Gdansk (Danzig) we visit the historic railway bridge near Tezew. We visit the bunker complex at the Hela Peninsula and we visit Westerplatte where the old German battleship SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN began World War II by firing into the city.
We are treated to visits aboard operational submarines of the Polish Navy - a Russian built KILO and a German built KOBBEN submarine. We also tour aboard the Polish destroyer THUNDER that saw combat action in World War II. We meet with Polish veterans and currently serving officers and men in the Polish Navy.

We visit the massive fortress Marienburg (Malbork), the biggest brick castle in all Europe.
Then we visit Rastenburg.............and Wolfsschanze - the "Wolf's Lair"!
We spend an entire day at Wolfsschanze! It was here that Count Schenk Claus von Stauffenberg placed the bomb that was intended to kill Hitler.
Above left - remains of the fortified bunker. Above right - where the wooden building stood......it was in this building where Claus Schenk Graf von Stuaffenberg placed the bomb that was intended to kill Hitler.

REMEMBER - Both Breakfast AND Dinner every day are included in your 2008 "Bunker Patrol" price!
ON TO HIMMLER'S BUNKER COMPOUND.............
Did you know that Heinrich Himmler had a hardened bunker complex not far from Hitler's Wolfsschanze?
It wouldn't be a REAL Sharkhunters "Bunker Patrol" if we missed that, so we visit the field Headquarters of Himmler near Pozezdrze. Want a better photo of the bunker complex? You can take the photos yourself on this "Bunker Patrol".
We tour the bunker area Mauerwald and enjoy a dinner cruise on the Mauersee aboard a beautiful cruise ship.
Below - We visit the airfield close to Wolfsschanze where Fritz Todt was killed when his plane crashed in 1942 - right after he told Hitler that the war was lost. Maybe he should have taken the train..................
We visit the citadel at Modlin - a massive structure!
Upper left - from the barracks tower we can see the confluence of the Narew and Vistula Rivers with Warsaw in the far distance. Upper right - one of the longest barracks buildings in the world.......TWO KILOMETERS LONG!
Below left - entrance to the Fortress Modlin. Below right - evidence of the bitter fighting here.
WARSAW! We visit the Military Museum, the Warsaw Museum, Museum of the 1944 Polish Uprising and much more history. During the evening, we are treated to Polish dancing and Folkloric groups at our Farewell Dinner.
