At the end of August 1941, in a month after German's invasion of
Vinnitsa, a construction of the object called Hitler's headquarters
was begun in a forest near village Kolo-Mihailovka (which is 8 km
from Vinnitsa). The forest near the village was enclosed with a
fence and declared a prohibited area.
In September 1941 the first part of the soviet prisoners of war was
brought there. 10000 of the soviet prisoners of war were involved in
the construction of Hitler's headquarters. All works were completed
at the end of April 1942. The walls of the entrances to the
underground lodgment were 2,5 meters thick. The object was
strenuously guarded. In November 1942, Hitler came there. In January
1943, came Hebbels and in March - Roselber. In August 1943, Hitler
visited the object again. In March 1944, before Germans retreat for
the river Southern Bug the object was blown up.
Today we can see huge blocks and entrances covered with bushes and
the only kept construction - pool, on the place of the explosion.
