In total, he spent more than 800 days at the Wolfsschanze during a 3½-year period until his final departure on 20 November 1944. Hitler first arrived at the headquarters on 23 June 1941. Although three security zones surrounded the central complex where the Führer bunker was located, an attempt to kill Hitler was made at Wolf's Lair on 20 July 1944. It was guarded by personnel from the SS Reichssicherheitsdienst and troops from the Wehrmacht's armoured Führer Begleit Brigade.
The top secret, high security site was in the Masurian woods about 5 miles (8.0 km) from the small East Prussian town of Rastenburg (now Kętrzyn in Poland). The complex, which would become one of several Führerhauptquartiere ( Führer Headquarters) located in various parts of occupied Europe, was built for the start of Operation Barbarossa - the invasion of the Soviet Union - in 1941. Wolf's Lair (German language: Wolfsschanze) was Adolf Hitler's first Eastern Front military headquarters in World War II.
