Skeletons missing hands and feet found in Hitler’s Wolf’s Lair

Five human skeletons with missing hands and feet were found at Hitler’s military headquarters in Poland, buried inside Goering’s villa. The bodies included three adults, a baby, and an older child. The discovery has raised questions about what may have happened there, with some speculating on occult rituals or other unknown reasons. The investigation is ongoing to determine the origin of the skeletons, which were found in a part of the building with a wooden floor. The Wolf’s Lair, where the headquarters were located, was destroyed by the Nazis in 1945. The site is now open to tourists, and the Goering villa has deteriorated over time.
