The Führerhauptquartier Anlage Mitte, also known as Askania Mitte,[1] was a bunker planned as a Führer Headquarters for Adolf Hitler, who never used it. It was built during the Second World War near Tomaszów Mazowiecki in central Poland.

The facility consisted of two railway bunkers. One bunker was at the village of Konewka (51°33′40″N 20°9′22″E / 51.56111°N 20.15611°E / 51.56111; 20.15611) the other at the village of Jelen (51°30′11″N 20°4′48″E / 51.50306°N 20.08000°E / 51.50306; 20.08000). The complex has not been destroyed, is in good condition and can be visited.
