I finally got around to researching Der Riese and found an article below that had a ton of information regarding Der Riese "The Giant"
- Hitler's Flying Saucers -
A Guide to German Flying Discs of the Second World War
One way Germany responded to air attacks was by moving munitions facilities and high-value industrial plants underground (1).Some of these facilities were vast, encompassing miles of underground tunnels. They housed both the industrial means of war production and the workers themselves. The facilities at Nordhausen in Thuringia are well known as the site of production for the V-l and V-2, but there were others. The newly discovered underground complexes of the Jonas Valley south of Nordhausen in Thuringia constitute another vast complex (2)(3). This facility was to serve as a center of government and most probably a research center for advanced weaponry. This is also true for the many underground complexes in what is now Poland. Notable among these is a facility called "Der Riese" (The Giant). Der Riese served as a uranium mine, uranium processing facility, and research and development facility for secret weapons (4). Underground facilities for weapons production were found throughout Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Poland. Underground production facilities were also set up to refine synthetic petroleum products from coal and to generate electricity.
A mountain fortress or "Alpenfestung" was to be set up in the German held areas of Northern Italy, Austria and Germany in roughly the areas in which these countries converged with each other and Switzerland (7). A fortress was to be set up in the Harz Mountains of Thruingia including several large underground complexes. This would extend from Nordhausen in the north down through Kahla and into the Jonas Valley. Another similar fortress complex was scheduled for the Owl Mountains separating Poland from Czechoslovakia including "Der Riese" mentioned earlier (8). Another fortress was to be set up in the Black Forest of Southern Germany. Other minor islands of resistance were to be set up in Norway, the Bohemian forest and the Bavarian forest (9).
"Der Riese", ("The Giant" in English), is located in the"Gory Sowie" or Owl Mountains of modern-day Poland. It consisted of seven underground complexes which concerned themselves with the mining, refining, research and development of uranium both for energy producing machines and weapons of war. The tunnels of the larger complexes are almost two miles in length. Courtesy of Robert Lesniakiewicz. Mr. Lesniakiewicz is a Polish engineer and a member of the research group responsible for opening, exploring and mapping of "Der Riese".

(IN CONCLUSION WE CAN "ASSUME" AND IT IS A LARGE ASSUMPTION THAT WE WILL BE HEADING TO THE OWL MOUNTAINS OF POLAND EITHER NEXT OR SOMETIME IN THE GAME! BASED OFF OF THE RADIO TRANSMISSION SAYING THAT IT NEEDS TO REMAIN SAFE AT ALL COST'S! THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP IT SAFE IS TO SEND A TEAM IN RIGHT?)
There is also a map already for Der Riese above. Lots of square rooms could make an interesting zombie level. I CANT WAIT 2 KNOW WERE WE ARE GOING NEXT!
LINK FOR INFO FOUND ABOVE: (Read the full article very interesting)
THE SITUATION WITHIN NAZI GERMANY
More Der Riese history:
From Hirschberg the disk was removed to a more secured underground location, which most likely, was called “Der Riese” a Nazi complex in the nearby Gory Sowie mountains (now in southwest Poland), which was also a site being used for excavating for uranium ore. This complex had an extensive network of underground hangars, connected by tunnels. The bodies of the occupants and the living extraterrestrial were also moved into this complex. The alien that lived for a little bit over a month apparently supplied the Germans with some type of information and was desperately asking the Nazi medical doctors for help, but they could not help him because of the different biological structure of his body. The alien died from an unknown illness.

I would love for there to be a map pack 3. Zombies, for me anyway, is the main attraction for Call of Duty: World at War.  Nice find.
