As far as I know \"Führer\" is usuelly not translated.
\"only an assassination attempt in Führer Headquarters could
get round the unpredictability of Hitler\'s schedule..\"

bomb-proofed

This almost certainly involved the use of reinforced concrete in most or all cases, but it may not be necessary to be that specific.

bunkered "Führer Headquarters"

Works as a verb, too. Bunker well-known as in a bunker under the former Berlin Wall.
Peer comment(s):

agree Maureen Holm, J.D., LL.M. : so well known, in fact, that 'Führer Bunkers' would nearly do. Wherever Hitler was was the command center.

Fuehrer's main headquarters bunkers

Admittedly, this variant, from a Spiegel-translation, is somewhat strung together. A circumscription such as:
"20 bunkers used as the Fuehrer's main headquarters".
--

"Bright as hundreds of bolts of lightning"

Crackpots and treasure hunters are overrunning the Jonas Valley in Thuringia. They hope to find the Amber Room, art treasures and Hitler's first atom bomb in the tunnels of one of the Führer's main headquarters bunkers, now destroyed.
