History
The Walpersberg near Kahla was one of the key sites of the underground relocation programme. Its tunnels housed facilities for the Me 262, built at the expense of thousands of forced labourers.
Today the site stands for research, remembrance, and responsibility. Here you will find the most important chapters as well as resources for deeper study.
