Our hotel - this was the SS Officer's Quarters.  Inside, in the hallway and in the rooms, it looks pretty much as it did some sixty years ago.  As we see below, Sharkhunters spent an evening in a makeshift pool tournament in the former SS officers' day room.

It was late and we were told not to wander around in the dark.  One of our hosts said they probably...................PROBABLY cleared all 250,000 anti-personnel mines cleared, but said we should not venture out and go wandering abut in the dark.  However, another of our hosts said that the story of the mines was untrue.  Still - the idea that the land mines were PROBABLY cleared was enough to make everyone cautious.  Nobody ventured far from the hotel/barracks this evening.  PROBABLY not being blown up is not good enough.

The dining room - the very same dining hall where the SS guard officers ate more than six decades ago.  Now it is LOREN CHARLES (3818-2003), MARY MYERS (7025-2005), BILL NAPIER (2290-C/LIFE-1992) and MIGUEL GONZALEZ (3076-2005) ready to enjoy our supper our first late evening at Wolfsschanze.

the original railroad crossing sign.

Right - a memorial plate indicating the actual spot where von Stauffenberg placed the bomb meant to kill Hitler.  Contrary to popular belief, the meeting where the assassination attempt was made was not in the hardened bunker; it was in a wooden building on this spot.

Three photographers LOREN CHARLES (3818-2003), MIGUEL GONZALES (3076-2005) and MARY MYERS (7025-2005) setting up for just the right shot.  Our group shot literally thousands of photos.

Right - Oops!  The guide has spotted HARRY and is not too happy that someone is climbing these ruins.  HARRY gets yelled at.............again
