Pozezdrze Himmlers secret HQ

The village of Pozezdrze (Possessern in German) has a very little known secret. To the north of the village lies the former HQ of Heinrich Himmler, a complex of bunkers which today are lost in the forest. Only one bad sign shows what once was here but this could be the place where much of the Shoah was planned together with many of the crimes that Himmler and the SS perpetrated.
Located some 65km by road from Ketrzyn (Rastenburg), Himmler would have been here when his Fuhrer was at Rastenburg. And Hitler spent around 800 days in Rastenburg after 24 June 1941.
It seems logical therefore to believe that the decisions relating to the mass murder of the Jewish population of Europe were not made in Berlin but here, lost in the forest.
The village of Possessern had its name changed to GrossGarten in 1938 by the Nazi authorities. Its population was then around 1,550 people, today it is around 1,300.
Himmler's HQ is very difficult to find in the forest. Finding it, I felt like an explorer who came across the pyramids in the Yucatan.
An utterly amazing complex, lost in the forest and unprotected from the elements it is falling into even more ruin.
Instructions on how to get there -
Going north you come to the edge of the village. On the left hand side there is a cemetary. On the right there is a little parking space and a track leading into the forest. Take this track into the forest about 500 metres until you come to a clearing. Park the car here. Follow the main track on foot for a further 400 metres until you come to the first trail leading to the left. Take this trail about 300 metres and the bunker complex opens up in front of you. How Himmler managed to drive his car here I do not know - I assume the forest was then much less dense.
