  • In this exclusive, never before seen documentary, you can see the entire bunker complex of Hitler's Berghof on the Obersalzberg for the first time ever. The historian and author Florian M. Beierl - an Obersalzberg expert - has contributed scientifically to numerous TV documentaries and leads us through the labyrinth of Hitler's underground catacombs. He explains the individual construction phases and caverns of the facility and their former use. By fading in plans, the viewer is guided through the individual bunker sections and thus - gets an extraordinary overview of the then secret facility in Hitler's legendary Alpine fortress.
    The BEGAFILM team were the first and last to to document the Berghof Bunker this extensively with camera.
    These bunker sections have been buried and filled up forever since 1999.

    In 1991, my wife, young son and I stayed in the former home of Albert Speer just down the road from the Berghof for 5 days. Had lunch in the Platterhof (General Walker Hotel). Access to Hitlers bunker by a long staircase. Revisited 3 years ago and stayed in Berchtesgaden. So sad to see the General Walker gone, now a miserable car park. Most historic buildings are no longer there. A visit to the Eagles Nest is worth the visit…

    The Berghof was heavily bombed and largely reduced to rubble at the end of the war. My Uncle was there with the US Army in 1945 and he brought back a large piece of stucco and exterior. He wrote on the back side of it and gave it a description and explanation. He passed away a few years ago. I have it now. A piece of history.

      Cool for you! The bunker is a war relic. Am I the only one who found the tour claustrophobic? My stomach was in my throat the whole time. Glad it finally ended. My curiosity kept me from exiting the video, but I wanted to quit! I'd have to take Valium or something similar to actually tour through it. I never used to be like that.
      I have to express my feelings about Nazi Germany and the psycho fuck Hitler and his evil cunt Eva Braun (Note: Her last name is pronounced Brown in German not brawn - Braun literally means brown. I hate mispronunciation. Braun products are always mispronounced. You can hear one of the Germans actually pronounce her name as Brown.)

      He stole something from Hitlers House after he went there to kill him. He went there to kill him because a racist wanted to purify the world. He no doubt lost friends in the war that decided human freedom and dignity. That man and men like him won the last just war the world has ever had and you better shut your f*****g mouth when thinking about people you will never live up to. The world owes them everything and those educated in history will never forget exactly what they won for us.

    While stationed in Germany in the '70s and '80s, we stayed at the General Walker/Platterhof or Berchtesgadener Hof four or five times and were fascinated by the history. In latter visits, I always brought the Obersalzburg issue of After the Battle, (a then-and-now history magazine to which I still subscribe). We took both the Platterhof and Zum Turken tours of the bunker complex. The former ended in an area still strewn with construction materials left behind, we were told, by Italian laborers. The Zum Turken tour ended with the most intriguing feature, a bricked up passage with one or two bricks missing from the top, allowing just a glimpse into the darkness of the Berghof section beyond. Thanks so much for clearing the darkness away with your incomparable coverage.

      We were there the last week (Gen. Walker) it opened, September 1994. We got a tour of the back room where they stored the alpine art, and much of it belonged to Nazi germany, but was confiscated by the US Army. There were stamps in the back of the pictures showing ownership of the reich; it was crossed out and a newer stamp showed it was the property of the us government.

  • @maxshenkwrites
    @maxshenkwrites ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The question I've always had about this is one that never seems to get asked or addressed: how much time did Hitler actually spend down there?
    My guess is, next to none.
    Maybe he did an inspection tour or two, but the Berghof was his vacation home and the area was NOT under Allied attack at any time that he was there, so there would have been no need for him to go down there, right?
    By all accounts, 14 July 1944 was the last time he was even at the Berghof.
    Not that it's not fascinating, but I'd bet that the people who have explored it have seen more of it than he ever did.
    The thing that I find most fascinating is the time, energy and expense that they put forth in planning and building this and other bunkers, which they had to know were just "last ditch defenses" and not "regularly used command centers or fortifications."

    In the late '70's I went down the bunkers in the village below. We entered through the small underground Chapel in the chalet we stayed in whilst skiing with the Army. There were a lot of artefacts still there at that time. I was in the Royal Artillery and it was called Exercise Snow Queen. We only had fairly weak Army torches so we were always worried the batteries would die. Wish we had gone further through the tunnels who knows what was there. David.

    In 1987 I along with 4 other Paratroopers had the crazy idea to go on the standard Army tour of the bunkers. We took gear with us and hid in the open part of the bunkers and waited until they locked us in under the General Walker, knowing that we would have to spend the night down there we explored the parts of the bunker that were normally not accessible at the time. I remember going into Hitler's bunker room and finding the sealed up wall and wondering what was behind it. 35 years later I know know what was there.

    Historically, I have always found these bunkers lacking. Like a house made for Hitler but never lived in, these bunkers have no history.
    The Zum Turken Hotel had (at one time) allowed access to these tunnels but it was ceased just a few years ago…for some unknown reason.
    I have been told that the German’s are much better at facing their disturbing past than the Austrians (who remain in denial) but it does not seem to be entirely true. Always with the tired cliche “We don’t want the Neo Nazis turning these places into shrines” begins to ring hallow.
    With the complete erasing of the Berghof and Hitler’s small Mooslahnerkopf teahouse overlooking Berchtesgaden below (not the Eagles Nest), this all begins to smack of national embarrassment.

Where is the value in an historical artifact with no history? The Berghof was a spectacular specimen of history and the Allies and the Bavarian government couldn’t wait to obliterate any sign of it having ever been there!

    My brother-in-law and I entered the bunker from the General Walker Inn (now destroyed by the Germans) in the fall of either 1995 or 1996. Very creepy knowing where you were at the time. We later walked by Hitler's house where there was not much except for concrete foundations and some broken glass. I picked up a piece of glass from the site but have forgotten where I put it. We also toured the Eagles' Nest on a clear beautiful day --- impressive views. The General Walker Inn was amazing, huge sleeping rooms, very thick walls. After realizing that the SS used the place it was hard to get to sleep.

We hear about the 6 million Jews Hitler murdered, but we often forget about the 4 million others he rounded up and killed which included the smart people who refused the Nazi ideology. Stalin’s purges were for the same reason. Difference between them and the GOP is that Hitler and Stalin murdered their intelligentsia while the Republican Party has simply arranged to stop producing them while convincing the incurably ignorant that education is evil.
