Wolfsschanze
I was curious how it looks like after 75 years after the end of the war. When I walked in I was overwhelmed, what nature has done with the place was amazing.
Before the war was over the nazis blown up the area and nature could return it into wilderness again. Now some parts of the area are looking like they are natural mountains.Even the buildings wich are not as destroyed as some other parts are a home now for the nature. There are stalactite caves developing for example.
When I started to take pictures, my camera was not working. I am working with a Polaroid sx-70 and it took me one hour to get the camera working again. It was the first and until now the last time this camera was not working.
I was frustrated because I lost a hole film, the sun was not there anymore and a lot of tourists where visiting the place.So I started to take a more closer look at the area and try to find places without people.

On my trip around the Baltic Sea i stoped at the Wolfsschanze, this was an important second world war bunker facility.I was curious how it looks like after 75 years after the end of the war. When I walked in I was overwhelmed, what nature has done with the place was amazing.
