Why Richtofen is in Eagle's Nest

As we know, Edward Richtofen was in Eagle's Nest, but it's not the one you think. When you think of Eagle's Nest, the one that usually comes to mind is the Kehlsteinhaus, "Hitler's Retreat." The Eagle's Nest he's at is actually Adlerhorst, a command compound.

A man named Albert Speer presented this compound to Hitler, but Hitler dismissed it in February 1940. Speer was then told to adapt the complex for the Luftwaffe. A branch of the Luftwaffe is the Wehrmacht, who teamed up with the Waffen-SS. For those of you who didn't know this, Dr. Richtofen is in the Wehrmacht, and possibly even the Waffen-SS. Although the Waffen-SS was autonomous and existed in parallel to the Wehrmacht, the Waffen-SS field units were placed under the operational control of the Supreme High Command of the Armed Forces, also known as the Riechstag High Command, who funded Group 935.
