Adolf Hitler's secret 'Wolf Lair' set deep in the heart of a forest in north-eastern Poland is to be turned into a major tourist attraction.

Forestry workers are looking for an investor to help make the Nazi leader's ruined fortress more accessible to holidaymakers.

The camouflaged complex in the woodlands of what was once German East Prussia was one of Hitler's key military headquarters during World War II.

The spot is open to the public, but does not attract many visitors because it is tucked so far into the forest and accessible only by treacherous dirt roads.

Disgusting...let it rust IMHO. I fear that any development will turn it into a site of pilgrimage for Neo-Nazis.

1. Shocking and disgusting.

I don't have any words. News like this makes me what to cry.

You'd expect something like this to happen maybe in Alabama or Arkansas where people are ignorant, but not in Poland where they were once invaded by the Nazis.

4. Very happy to see the above poster has been banned for that thinking.
