1jola: In Wolfschanze, the owners have done nothing to make the site understandable to visitors not already familiar with the subject but they did make a restaurant in the old SS baracks. The absence of information boards is part of the attraction of the place. I usually get a guide when I go there anyway (it works out at about ten zlots per person if there's a car full of you).
I'd need to check with my contact up there but I'm pretty sure that the restaurant predates the purchase of the site by the current owners. The restaurant was certainly there in '95 (I remember having a crackingly good meal in it) and the guide told us with great outrage about a plan he'd heard to sell the site to a company half-owned by Germans.
PlasticPole: Harry, why not admit Poland isn't the Nazi collaborators you claim, rather a land of resisters going against all odds and paying a heavy price? You will note that I have never claimed that Poland was nation of Nazi collaborators. I have always said that some Poles actively opposed the Nazis and some Poles actively supported them. Those are simple historical facts.
PlasticPole: Harry just because you have this morbid fascination with death camps doesn't make you an expert on them. Although the fact that I've been to them all and done a fairly large amount of reading about them all means I know just a touch more about them than you do.
Oh, bless! They've even managed to spell it all properly too! Their probation officers must be so proud.
