A collection of Nazi propaganda shots, including “rare images of
Adolf Hitler socializing with children and supporters at his notorious
Alpine hideaway” (Daily Mail). Adolf Hitler became “completely
captivated” by Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg when he first
visited the area in 1923. In time, he bought Haus Wachenfeld and made
the area his second seat of government. This meant major construction
of the Berghof barracks, administrative buildings, airstrips and the
famous “Eagle’s Nest.” During the war massive tunnels were dug.
Most were destroyed by allied bombing in April 1945. This original
book tells the story of the area, and—in contemporary postcards and
photographs—how it was transformed by Hitler and his henchmen
(Goering, Goebbels and Borman).
