History & Secrets about Riese
« on: July 01, 2017, 10:15:50 am »
Hello fellow members !
I like to share some Infos about an underground city in Poland.
(A german text translated into english.)





For some up to date photos : http://www.osowka.eu/


On 27.10.1947 appeared in the Polish newspaper "Slowo Polskie" a report, which describes the plant.
A report showing that the "main facility" was open until 1947 and exists!
 

An underground city in Gluszyca.

Prominence of the Nazi regime wanted to find shelter there.

In the nearby town of Gluszyca is a building complex, with various stories in circulation. Some of these buildings served as barracks three years ago for a large number of political prisoners, who were working under the whips of the SS people to build one of Hitler's headquarters. Heaps of bricks, sand, hundreds of different machines, cranes and wagons of the narrow-gauge railway are best evidence of the immense size of the building.

A huge subterranean city has been built here. The construction work began in 1944. One of the witness planers of the construction project of this unusual city Ing. Dolmuss, currently resides in Gluszyca. He is active in the Ministry of Reconstruction, which takes enormous amounts of building materials from here. Ing. Dolmuss is of Austrian descent. In the war he lived in France, from where he was recruited to Gluszyca. From him, we will discover sensational details concerning the mountain, where the underground city is located, equipped with all kinds of modern technical equipment. This city can be reached from four different directions: from Gluszyca, Modrzewek, Chalupy and Walim. From the direction of Modrzewek, as explained by Ing. Dolmuss, the entrance into the headquarters of Hitler's, from the direction of Chalupy the entrance for Goebbels and his staff, from the direction of Walim, the entrance to the staff of the Wehrmacht.

The scattering of the entrances alone makes it possible to imagine the immense size of the
Underground city. So far it has not been sufficiently investigated. The inhabitants of Gluszyca do the search for the supposedly hidden treasures, but during their hikes they only reach the main tunnel. The pages have not yet examined anyone. Potential treasure hunters are deterred by dangerous bunkers with machine gun stars and by rumors of the alleged de-mining of the passages. From Gluszyca there is supposedly a connection to the castle Ksiaz. As it was said, a bunker for Hitler was built there in the rock foundations.

The riddle of the subterranean city in Gluszyca is to be resolved as quickly as possible, as long as the witnesses and builders of this gigantic bunk still live. Perhaps some contributions to the history of the Second World War can be found there. Not far from Walbrzych, in the direction of Klodzko, lies Gluszyca, a town of three thousand inhabitants. The war has only touched this place, its baroque buildings, as well as the small church, built in the same style, were left unharmed by the war. But this very quiet city has been planned by the Nazis (an important role in the war), and one of the mountains near the city, which forms part of the chain of the Owl Mountains, has been the seat of the governing body In 1943, when the Red Army was standing in front of the Great Arches, East Prussia, where Hitler's headquarters was located, was soon to become a combat area, so it was decided to move the Fiihrer's headquarters to Lower Silesia, to Gluszyca's beloved surroundings.

In the end of the frosty December of 1943, a large mass of white slaves were brought together, which supplied the occupation areas to such an extent - and the new Babylon was begun. Thousands of Hungarian Jews were working on the construction of paths that would have made the access to the hill where the brain of the Third Reich was located. Polish, Russian, Italian miners and Ukrainians also worked here. A total of more than 50,000 people were involved in the gigantic construction, which was to be built here.

No one knew, of course, what purpose the huge bunkers and the endless tunnels and cross-cutting tunnels served should. Hundreds of engineers who conducted the work also had no idea what was actually being built. Each of them was just a cog in the big machine and had a precisely defined task area; It was dangerous for everyone to cross the boundaries of his job. Thus some of them worked on the construction of a new station, the others on the plans for the roads, and others on the pumping station whose tank can hold 40 thousand cubic meters of water. All the works were supervised by Berlin. Many of the secrets concerning the subterranean city were owned by Mayer, the sworn building councilor who had his permanent residence in Jed Una Zdroj, formerly Bad Charlottenbrunn.

Upon the curious details curious, we conclude, under the direction of the Ing. Dolmuss, who is one of the builders of the underground city and at the same time a specialist for the Modern Vl and V-2 weapons
(engineer Dolmuss was involved in the construction of the rocket launching ramps between Cherbourg and Cane), to inspect the upper and lower buildings of the unfinished city, which is said to have played such an important role in the previous war, She would be looking for a map.

From the historical restaurant "Zum Hirschen", where Frederick the Great would like to have entered, which was built in the first half of the XVIth century, we will drive a dirt road towards Nowa Ruda, one kilometer further on the other side of the road The traces of the started construction, many concrete structures built for concrete buildings, dozens of narrow-gauge wagons, some detached locomotives, a huge square with an unfinished concrete bridge, the network of railroad rails with finished interlocking signs proves that here A subterranean railway station, and the work on the expansion of the station was interrupted by the end of the war, but it did not save the 18 thousand prisoners of war and prisoners who found their huge mass grave here Of them have perished here, and pushes all the blame To the catering administrators, who recklessly reduced the small food rations given by Berlin.

On the All Souls Day, the inhabitants of Gluszyca lit hundreds of lights on the mass grave of Nazism to honor the memory of the nameless army of the dead. Next to rusted rails (the station is shut down) the cattle are settled by settlers who have moved here from across the river Bug. The village children play the war between the interlocks, which are supposed to have directed Hitler's trains, Admiral Raeder, Goering, Goebbels, and the staff of the Wehrmacht.

On the left side of the road rises a steep mountain slope, covered with mixed forest. In this slope is the entrance to the underground seat of Hitler. A very good path ascends and leads directly into the forest. This trip has not yet taken place before three. It was built by Hungarian Jews, as were many other roads that cut through the local mountains. After a five-minute drive, in which we crossed the constantly overlapping tracks of the narrow-gauge railway and rows of primitively barracks for war prisoners, we stop in front of a huge square. The mountain slope falls almost vertically to this place. Giant rocky peaks above the square look as if they could roll down with a dive at any moment. The expansive place is covered with a heap of various stones, between which shining silvery stones with a high mica content stand out. They testify that the earth here is rich in mineral resources. At the foot of the vertical mountain slope, on which needle trees rustle, is the three meter high entrance to the headquarters of Hitler's ...

Our correspondent decided to visit the mysterious subterranean city in Gluszyca. Together with his leader, Ing. Dolmuss, who was one of the commanding staff of the Third Reich and at the same time the builder of the relocation station in Gluszyca, he reached the entrance leading to Hitler's headquarters. Even at the entrance, wedges, wedged into the rock, are visible. As Ing. Dolmuss explains, a barnacle should be laid here that would have buried the mystery of the endless corridors and gloomy halls of the underground city. Huge oak piles supporting the ceilings seem to be solid. The system of intercepting the aisles is similar to the system used in coal mines, with the difference that the local aisles were later to be fixed with concrete, as was done with the seat of Goering, who was also in the subterranean city , As we move into the depths of the Ganges, it becomes ever darker; The small rectangle of light behind us is becoming more and more insignificant. This passage, from which first side aisles, in which the halls and rooms of the staff of Hitler were located, is three kilometers long. We do not know how long we are already going. The rectangle of light has long since disappeared behind us, and only the very wary flame of the carbide lamp still brightens the darkness. The course suddenly falls off and turns unexpectedly to the right. There is a small tunnel to the main entrance. Ing. Dolmuss leads us into the tunnel, and about 200 meters further we enter a large hall. It is supposed to have been the meeting hall. If the lighting had been installed in this hall, if it had been heated by central heating, and if it had a more elegant furnishing, it would surely look quite different. Now there is silence, coldness and darkness. From the meeting room, three aisles. Without a guide you could easily get lost here. Ing. Dolmuss recommends a visit to a corridor in which six fine diesel engines were found 14 days ago.

The extensive passageways of the subterranean city, full of silence and coldness, probably still keep some secrets hidden in their interior. During the last months of the existence of the Third Reich chaos was characteristic. Among other things, it was decided to conceal a large number of machines in the labyrinth of the corridors of the underground city in order to blow them up at the appropriate time. At the last moment the order was withdrawn, it was decided at the time to save the machines.

At three railway stations in Gluszyca, 70 railway waggons full of machines of various kinds were loaded daily. However, it was not possible to do everything, many machines were left in their place. Many of them already found their application in Poland - a part (like these six diesel engines, which were only found in the last days) still awaits its discoverer.

We have penetrated deep into the labyrinth of passageways. In the meantime the ventilation system in the corridors had been destroyed, the air deficiency not only made us breathing difficult but also extinguished the flames of our carbide lamp and suddenly we were surrounded by impenetrable darkness ...

In the absence of electric headlights, we are forced to withdraw from this part of the underground construction. When we hold our hands, we go towards the exit, as nonsensical. Dolmuss assured. We feel as if we were going deeper and deeper into the ground and not toward the exit. The reignited carbide lamp weakly illuminates the rocks, which are not supported in this part of the Ganges. The walk is quite wide. But it can only be done in the middle of the passage; At the edge the ceiling is too low.

The degree of completion of the individual tunnel sections is uneven. We stop at an iron door in one of the aisles. It protects the access to the secondary, which has led to Hitler's private rooms. We try to lift the iron door - it does not move at all. Dolmuss says this is a Sisyphus work, but if we believed there were treasures, he would be ready to take us there from another end of the Ganges.

To be honest, we've had enough of it already and give up the tour.


Dolmuss claims that in the underground corridors only voluntary workers -

Jews who had been given food extras - and Italian miners worked. The work has been heavy and dangerous. Thousands of people were said to have fallen under fallen rocks - so there were not many volunteers. We are skeptical about the words of Dolmuss - we know how the Germans called the "volunteers." At this moment, we are only interested in whether Dolmuss is saying this unconsciously or, as a representative of science, unconsciously ,

Really relieved, we go out into the daylight. The feeble octoberson is blind to the darkness of the corridors. We drive on. After we have driven some light serpentines, we find another entrance into the interior of the earth, similar to the first entrance. He is said to have been exclusively at the disposal of Hitler. We need not go down here. Now we are interested in bearings for building materials, large bunkers, piles of iron constructions, concrete mixers, excavators, huge traverse crossings - and semi-finished works in the construction of bursaries. A settler from Buczaz has settled near the mountain peak. His children look interested in the car, we are for her the first guests from the civilized world for many months.

In the thickets of the curiously yellow grass, steel bars run parallel to the spruce to the summit. There are a lot of steel bars here. They grow like trees from the concrete foundation of the bunkers built on the hail. Underneath is an entrance to which a narrow bridge leads. The roof should be covered with earth to plant trees on it. In the field of construction, each tree is protected with wooden fittings from damage.

In the absence of electric headlights, we are forced to withdraw from this part of the
Underground building. By holding our hands, we are heading towards the exit, as assured by us, Dolmuss. We feel as if we were going deeper and deeper into the ground and not toward the exit. The reignited carbide lamp weakly illuminates the rocks, which are not supported in this part of the Ganges. The walk is quite wide. But it can only be done in the middle of the passage; At the edge the ceiling is too low. The degree of completion of the individual tunnel sections is uneven. In one of the aisles we stay at a barrack. It protects the access to the secondary, which has led to Hitler's private rooms. We try to lift the iron door - it does not move at all. Dolmuss says this is a Sisyphus work - but if we thought treasures were there, he would be ready to take us there from another end of the Ganges. To be honest, we've had enough of it already and give up the tour. Dolmuss claims that in the subterranean corridors, only voluntary worker Jews, who had been given extracts for foodstuffs, and Italian miners worked. The work has been heavy and dangerous. Thousands of people were said to have fallen under fallen rocks - so there were not many volunteers. We are skeptically aware of the words of Dolmuss - we know how the Germans have called the "volunteers." At this moment, we are only interested in the fact whether Dr. Dolmuss says this for evil or, as a representative of science, unconsciously ,

The interior of the bunker is not finished. There were plans for the staff of Hitler to be built here. A few meters below you will find the tracks of a narrow-gauge railway. The barracks standing in rows become rotten, since they are not cultivated. Likewise, enormous amounts of cement are spoiled here. At this place there are still 10 million paper bags of cement of 50 kg each. This figure is best evidence of the enormous size of the planned building. But that's not all. We learn that already 100 wagons each of 15 tons of cement had been removed from here. The cement left over is already largely ruined, because the roofs of the barracks are destroyed and it has been raining on the cement since then. Ing. Dolmuss could say a lot on this topic, but for some unknown reasons he contains further explanations ...

Thousands of petrified cement bags do not react to the blows of a randomly found pickaxe, it can only be penetrated to the upper layer of the sacks. Is there perhaps cement that would still be useful? The terrain seems as if it had never been touched by human hands. Behind us we leave a forest of steel bars. Although it is autumn, the grass is high and you do not know what is possibly hidden in it. Walking around this area is not without a certain risk, so we feel uncomfortable. The switches of the railway are so complex that they are difficult to detect. As we descend the slope, we bump into the rails, which are laid out at regular intervals, such as stairs.

In front of us is an unfinished building. It is difficult to see what purpose it has served. A part of scaffolding is collapsed and covers a large, concrete-fixed hole. Dolmuss said this was an elevator. A 100 meter deep shaft has already been finished. They had already begun to erect a reconstruction for the elevator, but the rapid approach of Soviet troops prevented the completion of the construction works. On the site of the mountain there are several such openings. The elevators should be lowered to the level at which the offices were located. A little further up a fairly large pile of bogged up gravel: 40,000 cubic meters! A trifle ... Directly behind it are wall mounts, partly glazed - Hitler's Orangeries! The autumn wind is now sweeping. Thus the German pedantry - in such times the luxurious Orangerien to build the highest force use of thousands of people.

In the meantime, Ing. Dolmuss is slowly becoming redsam and begins to tell very interesting stories about former inhabitants of Gluszyca. Among them were similar versions of the allegedly owl-built underground atomic city.

Although the Germans were discouraged during the last years of the war because of the lack of success in the front, they still did not lose faith in the final victory. There was a new myth about a new weapon with which the "leader" had wanted to surprise and destroy the enemy, but the inhabitants of Gluszyca saw the rapid progress of construction on the gigantic underground City and whispered about the construction of "nuclear power plants", which were to be erected here.

The city of Gluszyca consists of three districts connected by a road running from Walbrzych towards Klodzko. There are Gluszyca Gorna, Gluszyca Srodkowa and Gluszyca Dolna. On both sides of the main road are large cotton industries, which in the war have occupied most of the inhabitants of the three parts of Gluszyca. The lives of these people took place between work in the factory, the home, the local hunter's club and the book "Mein Kampf." With the initial successes, the arrogance of the "humble hunter" from Gluszyca grew. At the beginning of 1943, however, the lightning hit the glorious citizens of Gluszyca. The large cotton industries - the basis of their existence - were handed over to Krupp. 50,000 spindles had to be adjusted. The population of the three districts lost their jobs, but the organization of the arms factory was not so easy. The Germans from Gluszyca were confronted with hundreds of different machines, which were gathered here from the territory of the entire Third Reich, but mainly from the vicinity of Mauthausen.

Engineer Dolmuss knows a lot about these machines, but he is silent. He mentions, on the other hand, 70 railway wagons, which have brought hundreds of different machines here every day.

One thing is certain: they were not necessary for the city of the Nazis that was created in the Owl Mountains. My companion suddenly asks the question: Was the rumors of the inhabitants about the underground atomic city, which should have arisen here, true? The red face of Dolmuss is partly pale, he half-blinds the blue eyes, half nervously touching his face, as if to wipe out our question, but after a while he begins to speak.

"No, it is not true," he says, "I've seen the plans of the subterranean city at the headquarters of the organization Todt in Berlin, I can summon it." At this moment, we doubt the credibility of Dolmuss But doubt the credibility of the plans of the double "A" - which stands for "Adolf's action". The plans must have been double - the one for such people as Dolmuss, they could have portrayed the concept of the underground city for the prominence of the Nazis, to cover up the huge dimensions of the construction work. The others for two or three intimate persons who might have portrayed the subterranean atomic city.

We are approaching the former seat of Goebbels. Also here is a system of rooms, corridors and smaller rooms. The difference is due to the fact that the aisles are partially bricked. In the other floors of the underground building one can find still installed contacts today. One of the alleged rooms of Goebbels was probably a telephone exchange. Special listening devices would have switched off the light automatically in case of an air attack.

When Dolmuss noticed powerlines, he finds the subject of interesting communications. This small seat was equipped with 250,000 m of power lines, ranging from 60mm to 12mm. Some of them, as well as large transformers, were later installed in the power plant in Walbrzych. Dolmuss says that according to Gluszyca only the most modern electrical installations had been brought, and that he had never seen such installations before in his life, although he was a professional engineer. We go into the narrow streets of Walim. Behind us, we leave the Owl Mountains with a still unsolved puzzle. We ask Ing. Dolmuss, for which purposes 100 engineers and 50,000 workers were envisaged. He explains to us: In the event of an atomic war, this number of engineers and workers would have been a trifle. On our question of what he knew about atomic energy, he replied that he was interested in atoms for a long time and knew a lot about their application ...
Suddenly he falls silent, and we do not repeat the questions.

A german website for good infos & pics - currently only german text.
http://www.fhq-riese.de/?FHQ-RIESE:Anlage_Osowka (also the Source)














The Osowka Complex

The Osowka complex is one of the complex with many puzzles. A puzzle is the large block of concrete with a process for a turbine shaft and technical rooms, which many researchers assume is a nuclear power plant (see also).


Another inconsistency is the heating system in the aggregate store of the concrete plant. This leads to the conclusion that summer as well as winter concrete could be poured.


But until today, researchers are puzzling where the concrete is to be found. The few concrete that is installed and visible is the work of a month. The plant (see drawing) was able to produce concrete in a continuous process.

The History Of Riese



The beginning of the construction work in Giant is unclear. The mass of the construction work should have begun in 1943. From 1943 onwards Schlesische Industriegemeinschaft AG conducted the work until the execution of the work of the organization Todt in 1944 on Hitler's order. However, some of the times speak of the fact that as early as 1938 some parts of the mountain massif were fenced and were strictly guarded by SS. The areas Wolfsberg and Moszny (no German translation) were mentioned. The statements come from among others. By Mrs Helena Putlin and Mr Ludwik Kawa. As in the "Olga" object, there are clear indications that the preparatory work was started much earlier than is generally assumed today. This would mean that the plans for the underground objects already existed at the end of the 30s and were implemented one after the other. However, detailed explanations for this assumption are still pending.
 
In 1943 construction was forced. The work was mainly carried out by Inmates of the KZ Groß-Rosen concentration camp. Several underlays have been erected for accommodation. There are very different statements about the number of workers employed. It is certain that a large number of prisoners did not survive the horrors of the construction and that their graves have not yet been found. Nevertheless, Polish researchers do not expect the giant to be a large tomb. There is, however, the testimony of a witness who claims to have perceived body odor in the Jauernig complex. This complex is difficult to access today. There are also indications in another tunnel that the Germans simply drove prisoners in the galleries and then burst them.
 
Controversy (in a constructive sense), there is always the purpose of determining the equipment. A convincing clarification has not yet taken place.

During the time of the Berlin offensive, Russian troops invaded the area without permanently occupying it. The work was resumed. Only between the 8th and 10th of May 1945, Russian troops occupied the territory of the Owl Mountains. I am still looking for materials in Russian archives, but they have been closed up so far.

The materials stored in the area of ​​the Owl Mountains served the construction of Poland after the war. There were explosions in the galleries themselves, even after May 1945. It was only after the Polish army had eliminated the last groups of werewolf groups in 1947 that peace came.

A senior construction worker, Ing. Dalmus, offered plans of the object shortly after the war of the Polish government. This, however, interrupted the state security service, and Dalmus was able to leave Austria at the last minute. He died in the meantime. Nothing is known about the whereabouts of the documents.

Many seekers have tried to reveal the secrets of Giant. Piotr Kruszynski, who also published the description of Riese, should have collected the most material. Also a museum and touristic plant were built.


Secrets of Riese


The Eulengebirge (Owl Mountains) around Waldenburg was the first address for best hard coal in the Ruhr area long before coal mining. The area is more perforated than the proverbial Swiss cheese.

Therefore, it is obvious that the existing minerals used in the giant were already used for the FHQ and only had to be converted and rebuilt. The galleries of a mine that serve for ventilation can be converted as accesses and driveway shafts. During the construction period, you are used for material transport. No one can say today whether the debris of Osowka lies under the shaft, does not go deeper and is deliberately spilled after the war!

It is nevertheless close, that the concrete on the upper floor was led into the lower level.

This is a presumption, a theory, but an obvious one. A permission to remove the debris of the many years after the war through the shaft many is not given.

This fact is also a point in the theories to conceal the facility through today's state bodies. Permissions are given for excavations. See the lower gallery in Gontova. However, excavations are also denied. Quite honestly, where an excavation is denied, there I would double my power to the search. A permission granted to me in Giant is a sign for me that is not worth it.



The secret around the "fountain" at Schloss Charlottenbrunnen.


A hitherto unexplained riddle is the alleged well behind the Schloss (Castle) Charlottenbrunnen.


In the castle, until the arrival of the Red Army, the building was the seat of the FHQ Riese. It is obvious that a separate tunnel has been created for the construction site.

The castle is in the picture on the right side about 200m away. The building around the shaft is called a well. However, one could still look in the "fountain" before the reconstructions in the castle. The metal parts attached to the sides remind more of a lift shaft and less of a water supply.

Since the castle was also used as a restaurant and hotel, the building was a roof and the door a castle missed. A request for permission to investigate the "well" and also water pumping was denied.

The only thing that puzzles is the view, that is, behind the photographer, a tunnel just below this hill where the photo was taken.



I have in the photo on the right the broken in the stollen entrance somewhat brighter made to show him better. With a ramp to load the excavation and foundations for offices and warehouses, the grounds around the area behind the Schloss Charlottenbrunn  are expanded.





The mystery around the "vanished fountain" over Moszna. (Central Owl Mountains)


An almost identical building has disappeared after the Moszna 2013 facility. Probably it was demolished and the area was poured. However, the effort was driven so hard that one can not even find the spot today even more visually.

In 1947, a series of newspaper reports were published in Gluszyca, which tell a very detailed story about the FHQ Riese and its galleries.


Today we are assuming that the public authorities are doing everything possible to prevent the access and even the existence of the FHQ Riese bunker facility. This newspaper report is often presented as a fantasy product. But it is to be borne in mind that in 1947 no one thought of the cover-up of the FHQ giant. So why should the report be wrong and invented?

Normally, you always find clues in archives for any connections to a project. In the FHQ giant, however, each track is as eradicated. There is not even the slightest indication of something ......

Project Riese

Riese [ˈʁiːzə] (German for "giant") is the code name for a construction project of Nazi Germany in 1943–1945, consisting of seven underground structures located in the Owl Mountains and Książ Castle in Lower Silesia, previously Germany, now a territory of Poland.

None of them were finished; all are in different states of completion with only a small percentage of tunnels reinforced by concrete.

The purpose of the project remains uncertain because the lack of documentation. Some sources suggest that all the structures were part of the Führer Headquarters; according to others, it was a combination of headquarters (HQ) and arms industry but comparison to similar facilities can indicate that only the castle was adapted as an HQ or other official residence and the tunnels in the Owl Mountains were planned as a network of underground factories.

The construction work was done by forced labourers, prisoners of war (POWs), and prisoners of concentration camps, and many lost their lives mostly as a result of disease and malnutrition.

History

Due to increasing Allied air raids, Nazi Germany relocated a large part of its strategic armaments production into safer regions including the District of Sudetenland. Plans to protect critical infrastructure also involved transfer of the arms factories to underground bunkers and construction of air-raid shelters for government officials.

In September 1943, Minister of Armaments and War Production Albert Speer and the senior management of Organisation Todt started talks on Project Riese. As a result, the Schlesische Industriegemeinschaft AG (Silesian Industrial Company) was created to conduct construction work. In November, collective camps (Gemeinschaftslager) were established for forced labourers, mainly from the Soviet Union and Poland, POWs from Italy, the Soviet Union, and later Poland as an aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising

A network of roads, bridges, and narrow gauge railways was created to connect excavation sites with the nearby railway stations. Prisoners were reloading building materials, cutting trees, digging reservoirs and drainage ditches. Small dams were built across streams to create water supplies and sewage systems. Later the rocks of the mountains were drilled and blasted with explosives and the resulting caverns were reinforced by concrete and steel. For this purpose mining specialists were employed, mostly Germans, Italians, Ukrainians, and Czechs but the most dangerous and exhausting work was done by prisoners.

The progress of digging tunnels was slow because the structure of the Owl Mountains consists of hard gneiss. Most of the similar facilities were bored in soft sandstone but harder, more stable rocks gave the advantage of total protection from Allied air raids and the possibility of building 12 m high underground halls with a volume of 6,000 m3.

In December 1943, a typhus epidemic occurred amongst the prisoners. They were held in unhygienic conditions, exhausted and starving. As a result, construction slowed down significantly. There were at least five collective camps and an unknown number of forced labourers and POWs worked for the project, some until the end of the war. It is also undetermined how many prisoners lost their lives.

In April 1944, dissatisfied with the progress of the project, Adolf Hitler decided to hand over the supervision of construction to the Organisation Todt and assign prisoners of concentration camps to work. They were deployed in thirteen labour camps (Arbeitslager, AL), some in the vicinity of the tunnels. The network of these camps has been named Arbeitslager Riese (List of camps) and was part of the Gross-Rosen concentration camp. The administration of AL Riese and the camp commander, SS-Hauptsturmführer Albert Lütkemeyer, were located in AL Wüstegiersdorf. From December 1944 to January 1945 the prisoners were guarded by 853 SS troops.

According to incomplete data, at least 13,000 prisoners worked for the project. Most of them were transferred from the Auschwitz concentration camp. The documents allow identification of 8,995 prisoners. All of them were Jews, about seventy per cent from Hungary, the rest from Poland, Greece, Romania, Czechoslovakia, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. Mortality was very high because of disease, malnutrition, exhaustion, dangerous underground works, and the treatment of prisoners by German guards. Many exhausted prisoners were sent back to the Auschwitz concentration camp. The deportation of 857 prisoners is documented as well as 14 executions after failed escape attempts. An estimated total of 5,000 victims lost their lives.

At the end of 1944, another typhus epidemic occurred amongst the prisoners. Because the front line of the war was approaching, evacuation of the camps began in February 1945, however in a few places work might have been conducted even at the end of April. Some prisoners were left behind, mostly badly ill, until the Red Army arrived in the area in May 1945. Project Riese was abandoned at the initial stage of construction and only 9 km (25,000 m2, 100,000 m3) of tunnels were dug out.

Thank for the update, Z  :)

There are some interesting german-only infos about these places, which I like to translate.
I will search and collect and translate them for us.

I know there are some people who disfigured some places to make money with the nazi ufo thing.
There is also info i like to share about the fake stuff as there is no english info available.


Kudos Alien, very well found and done. xo

Thank you, biggles !  :)
