New artefacts were discovered at the site of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's Eastern Front headquarters during World War II, the Wolf's Lair bunker, located deep inside the forest in Gierloz.

Footage from Friday shows the combs, razors, toothbrushes, plates, signboards and other objects that were found in the Nazi complex during excavations.

"Dozens of prospectors cooperated with us for several weekends and indeed managed to dig up some artefacts from the ground. We intentionally avoid the word souvenir, because for us these are not things that we would like to easily remember. These are items that show how the quarters could function during the war," explained the managing director of the Wolf's Lair, Zenon Piotrowicz.

"Signboards are interesting for us, as they show that there was a hairdresser in this place, in this small town. In the end two and a half thousand people lived here during the war, so everything had to be here," he added.

The Nazi complex was abandoned in 1944 following Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg's assassination attempt on Hitler, and hasn't undergone any renovations since.

The remote site has been open to the public since the beginning of 1990s after the fall of communism, and attracts around 300,000 visitors annually.
