Bunkers in Mamerki
One of the best preserved complexes of undamaged German bunkers from
World War II in Poland. In the years 1940-1944 about 250 objects
including 30 concrete shelters were built for the needs of the 40 top
generals and field marshals, 1500 officers and soldiers of the
Wehrmacht, and most of them have survived to our times undamaged.
Germans did not manage to blow up the shelters, they were abandoned
without a fight by the Wehrmacht troops in January 1945.
Essential orders for the troops of the Wehrmacht were transmitted
through this place during World War II. For 4 years, there were attempts
made to defeat the Soviet Union. It is here, where conspiracy against
A. Hitler took place when Germany had begun to lose the war. It is the
place, where the order to suppress the Warsaw Uprising was sent from. In
addition, visitors can walk along 30m underground tunnel connecting two
shelters.
From the top of 36 meter- high tower visitors admire the view on Mamry
Lake and the surroundings, it is the highest tower in the region. Unfortunately all tower was in the wind and it was so difficult to take any photos
