OKL locations, April 1945

[Nick Beale]

Several Bundesarchiv files include handwritten notes in the third week of April saying the reporting was interrupted by the move of OKL from Kurfürst 1 to Kurfürst 4.

I'm guessing that 1 was Wildpark-Werder and 4 was Berchtesgaden, where Göring finished up. Can anyone confirm that, please?

Hi Nick,

the late 'SES' (Michaël Svejgaard) has details posted on his website:

I cannot vouch for the accuracy or original sources, other than to state that Michaël's work was usually impeccable.
