Map of Adolf Hitler's Headquarters (Führer Headquarters) in Europe 1933-1945.
Legend: Red locations indicate headquarters that were used by Hitler. Grey locations indicate headquarters that were not used by Hitler (but intended to); they were however used by other military officials. The locations are given in parenthesis (). Borders are at the height of Axis domination (1942), and dotted borders are present (2007) borders. Some regions have German designations (e.g. "Ostland"), with the present country name denoted in uppercase letters in parenthesis below the German designation (e.g. "(AUSTRIA)"), or without any German designation (e.g. "(ESTONIA)").
Countries that were part of the Axis/annexed by Axis are colored dark green (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania & Italy etc). Countries that were occupied by the Axis are colored light green, except "Vichy France", colored light green but marked as "unoccupied". Countries that were part of the Allies are colored blue (United Kingdom) and red (Soviet Union). Neutral countries are colored grey (Switzerland & Sweden).
