This decrepit old building was once called the Wofsschanze, or Wolf's Lair, and it actually served as the headquarters of Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union. Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler spent over 800 days at this location between 1941 and 1944, scheming with his top generals and planning the unthinkable horror of the concentration camps. However, despite the dark history, the owner of the Wolfsschanze estate chose to organize some outdoor games on the territory, and the Polish government responded by seizing the property.
The 1911 Picasso painting "La Coiffeuse," said to be worth about $15 million, is returned to the French government after U.S. Customs discovered the piece sent from Belgium via FedEx. Jillian Kitchener reports.
