Adolf Hitler spent over 100 days at the Wolf's Lair between 1942 and 1944, where he made strategic decisions that significantly impacted World War II history. ^[1] Military historian Andriy Shvachko and former KGB officer Vadym Vitkovsky conducted an on-site investigation of the ruins of Adolf Hitler's Wolf's Lair in Strizhivka, near Vinnytsia, Ukraine. ^[2] Hitler signed Directive No. 45 at the site in July 1942, ordering a simultaneous offensive on Stalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields. ^[3] The site was chosen for its logistical advantages, including proximity to railways, roads, and airfields, rather than any mystical or supernatural reasons. ^[4] Karl Haushofer, a German general and geographer, was executed by firing squad for alleged involvement in a coup against Hitler, and later his wife Marta and he committed suicide by arsenic poisoning after the war. ^[5] Stefan Zweig and his wife Lotte Altman committed suicide by overdosing on barbiturates after Zweig fled Nazi Germany for Brazil, where he found hospitality but felt spiritually exhausted. ^[6] The author argues that joint suicides often serve as a final affirmation of self-identity when the external world that provided that identity has disappeared. ^[7] The column concludes with a direct appeal to the reader to avoid fanaticism and to protect life. ^[8]
