I think that the history from World War II and about Hitler needs to be preserved. This location should be telling the story of what went on there, like how Claus von Stauffenberg tried to assassinate Hitler. This is not a place for a hotel, restaurant, paintballing, etc. People like to do fun activities like these, however a historical location should be for tourism and education. Many want historical places to become fun hang-out and activity places because most people would rather have fun doing things like paintballing than touring a historical location or museum which will help bring a larger crowd of people with money. Wolf’s Lair and other historical places are become less educational and informative so they can become money-making activity places. You cannot re-create history, and if people replace it for something else or lose it, we can never get it back. It is good that they are now trying to keep Wolf's Liar alive and a place of historical evidence. How will future generations learn from us and know about the past events that make the world the way it is today, if we do not preserve our history? We do not want the world in the future to relive the mistakes made in the past. The world will not know about our mistakes if history is not passed on and kept being educated.
