I would agree with you most of the time, however, sometimes historic events and people are so vile and repugnant that the remaining evidence must be destroyed - however, not forgotten.
It was bombed and then the retreating SS set it on fire. Likely many documents destroyed. I believe it stood in ruins for 7 years and then brought down. The remaining done in the 90’s. I would love so much to be able to tour this as well but I think it was unsafe. A reconstruction would be interesting as a museum. Fascinating stuff. I think it’s natural to want to (safely) explore the horrors of historic human nature but we must always remember that the human heart is still capable of these things. Very sobering reminder to remain watchful.
Standing in the exact spot *he* stood really gives me the chills - incredibly well lined up shots that show how much yet how very little has changed since 1945!

@@gregharry3602, that's a very interesting question. Between 1945 and 1947, Argentina was unfortunately a refuge for many high-ranking Nazis, just to name: Josef Mengele "The Angel of Death", Adolf Eichmann, one of the ideologues of "the final solution", Erich Priebke, one of the main responsible for "the massacre of the Fosse Ardeatine",..... and we could go on like this for several hours.... On the other hand, on the southern coast of Argentina, a region known as Patagonia, there is a documented record of the sinking volunteer by the crew of at least two German submarines, conditioned for the long voyage from the coasts of Galicia, in Spain to South America. All this makes us think, why not, that Hitler cowardly fled and spent his last miserable days in this remote part of the world... if that were the case, it is NOT something to be proud of… Greetings from this far side of the world.
@@IgnacioVeutroProductions Many nazis also fled to the south of Brazil after the war, including Josef Mengele, who lived here for almost 20 years under the name Wolfgang Gerhardt. He even built a house with a watchtower in the countryside, in a mountainous area that resembles Berchtesgaden. This house still stands today and is a museum. Mengele died on Bertioga beach in 1979, where he drowned.
I dont know if you've stretched or rescaled shot overlays, but that was truly epic work to position oneself as close as can be to the original record, and your work to produce the overlays are all very poignant. Your efforts are congratulated and appreciated. Well done.

My Grandfather was in this was as a combat engineer. He made it back to his family here in the USA after the war was over. He was an incredible man and I miss him dearly as well as my Grandmother. My mother was only 6 but remembers the rations here in the US, while it was not as bad as in Europe it was still hard. So many men fought and so many died in the name of liberation for the countries overseas. I honor every single man that fought and have the highest respect for them.

I spent four nights at the Turken Hotel in September 2001. It was the end of a D-Day to The Eagles Nest WW2 tour. We pulled into Bastogne, Belgium for two nights on the morning of September 11, 2001.. I will not ever Forget that Day. What a beautiful area the Obersalzberg is!
Bruce Anderson, that you have stayed at the Hotel Zum Turken is something amazing because of all the history that surrounds it and I agree with you, the Obersalzberg area and its surroundings are incredible. Greetings from Argentina.
A very effective presentation style! The superimposition of different historical timeframes from the identical perspectives produces a "haunting" effect! I've never seen this done as well as it is done here!
Excellent how the images of past to present are superimposed in precise perspective to the location of these buildings with caption and how mother nature took her land back. Excellent job!
Bozo the clown, thank you for watching. You are right, however, those were other times when people thought differently and sought to eradicate Nazism at all costs. Greetings from Argentina.
I was there in winter 1989. There was not much left at that time, a few stairs, some bricks, a barely dicernable drive. There are many far more well-preserved Nazi buildings in the immediate area. I had the pleasure of renting the Albert Speer house for a weekend. Friend and I were the only ones there, so we poked around, checking under the furniture. That is how I found Hitler's couch, which was well described in Albert Speer's first book. Very long, narrow and straight, and with no armrests, it was uncomfortable.This is the couch Hitler's guests had the misery of using when their host was on one of his endless monologues. Furniture at that time was all made to measure. In the Speer house, they had to carve a notch into the wall framing to accommodate the couch. So it was not designed to be there.
This is an outstanding video so well put together. A great sense of human tragedy and loss pervades the photography and ghosts seem to pervade the geography. Thank you for this. For the sake of the millions lost on both sides, let us never forget.
@buffet1000, thank you very much for your comment, I agree with you, the WW2, like all wars, was, is and will be a great tragedy for humanity. Greetings from Argentina.

Fantastic! This is by far the best "then and now" video I have ever viewed. I can only imagine the work you put into this having tried a "then and now" with one photograph with limited success. Subscribed and looking forward to your next production.
funny how everyone tries to erase history instead of using it as a teaching point. I was lucky to visit many of these before they were leveled, and the emotions were immense. Not the same a same as a patch of grass. In the Eagles Nest, there were pictures on the wall of Hitler leaning on the stone wall looking out and one was able to put your hands in the exact same spot on the ledge as his hands had been and ponder what the hell was that madman thinking while looking out over some of the loveliest land in all of Germany. Very impactful to say the least

So sad it was destroyed. Would be a great piece of history to visit this house these days! Even they did terrible things.. history is always very interesting!
What terrible things they did? Bombed down to the ground Drezda, Hamburg, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and killed thousands of innocent children and women? Oh, wait! No....
I absolutely agree with you. I love the Second World War period and to be able to walk through a house where so many decisions were made would be simply unforgettable.
How many planes bombed the eagles nest? the British must have dropped a lot of bombs but they really didn’t do a whole lot of damage . True they did damage it but they could have flattened the whole thing.
As someone who wishes to visit this site, i appreciated the then-and-now overlays (almost augmented-reality), so one can locate and touch the actual history. Thank you for your efforts. :)

cultureclique2173, I agree with you, but those were other times when it only sought to eradicate all traces of Nazism at any cost. Greetings from Argentina.
great video! I visited the area in the mid to late 1980es, there were still the stairs and garage of the Berghof and basement ruins of the other houses visible, some guys had climbed into the Berghof garage (main entry was either destroyed or under rubble) and were hammering away for souvenir bits I think, LOL. There were no signs at all showing where the Berghof was, just a path through the woods. We were shown around by an old guy from a place I interned at, he knew his way around there very well. Also visited some of the bunkers, most of the area was still a US Army recreation facility of some sort, so Hitler's bunker was not accessible to us. Was a fascinating visit, seeing these images superimposed so well is fantastic. Would have been a great video to have on hand back then. If I ever visit again, I'll remember to bring this up on my phone.
Having visited there and examined countless photos, I can say that your overlays were extremely accurate. Thanks for the nice job in presenting the area as it was.

Brilliantly cut together in a way that I have never seen before about the Berghof. Just one tiny detail, the British Prime Minister, Chamberlain, had Arthur as his first name but was always called Neville Chamberlain. He was never known as Arthur.
@colinlambert882 thank you very much for your comments. First of all you are very kind, and in the other hand, you are right about Chamberlain, I just tried to be as faithful and exact as possible. Greetings from Argentina.
What an excellent video, really well put together, thank you from a new subscriber! I visited this area with my family in the 1980s, staying in what was the General Walker hotel (now demolished). My son and I, both avid WW11 buffs, explored the remains of the Berghof and came across a man and a young boy lighting candles amongst the ruins of the garage, all that was left of the building to see. This answers the question from Luca Goes Offroad in the comments below, as to why the Berghof was destroyed.....it would undoubtedly have become a shrine.
Bangkokney, thank you very much for telling us your interesting story at the Berghof, and thank you very very much for suscribing. Greetings from Argentina.
digitalfutur, thank you for watching. You're right, the Eagle's Nest is the only important building in the Obersalzberg area that remained intact after the war. Greetings from Argentina.
Great production. I have been there and explored quite a bit of the Obersaltzberg. I was there in 2004 with a group of WWII American soldiers who actually occupied Eagle's Nest. The construction of the place in the early 1930s was an incredible undertaking. The winding road there from Berchtesgaden below was an amazing engineering feat of its time. One of the soldiers I was with had a confiscated WWII German camera and took photos at while there in 1945. Standing in the same spot as then he held up the photos for comparison and virtually nothing had changed! Amazing! It's very high up in the Austrian Alps. So much history here. It was the trip of a lifetime!!
@@karlhubben8009 Well....depends which mountains/Alps he is talking about. The town of Berchtesgaden, Berghoff and the Eagle's Nest are all located in Germany and if he is talking about anything there then he obviously made a mistake, but if you look anywhere South, West or East from that "view room" or from the main terrace of the Berghoff; the high mountain tops you will see are all in Austria. Austrian border is less than 10km from the former Hitler's house and Austria surrounds completely that little "peninsula" of the German territory where the "Nazi Bel Air" used to be located.
Curtis Gomes, thank you very much for sharing your amazing story about Eagle´s Nest with the American soldiers who were there in 1945. Greetings from ARgentina.
Luca Goes Offroad, thank you for watching. You're right, it would have been a great piece of history, but perhaps it would also have been a place of pilgrimage for new followers of fascist ideology. Greetings from Argentina.
The horrible events which took place in Europe, between 1919 and 1933, led directly up to a nation placing it's trust in the hands of a father-like figure. The crimes committed against several million blameless German citizens all across Europe, perpetrated by Americans, Soviets, Polish, and Czechs, during, and after the collapse in 1945, remain still too little accounted for. The political and economic enslavement of the German Nation after 1945, also came at a tremendous cost to all Europe, and all Western Culture. Too many millions perished, and Europe can never recover these losses.

Wow, this video is absolutely mind-blowing! 😲 The comparison between the Berghof Residence then vs. now, along with other iconic spots where Hitler once stood, is nothing short of incredible. It's astonishing to see how time has transformed these places. The Berghof Residence, once the epicenter of power during that dark era, now stands as a powerful testament to the passage of time and the triumph of history. The contrast between the past and the present is awe-inspiring, reminding us of the progress we've made as a society.

So sad it was destroyed. Would be a great piece of history to visit this house these days! Even they did terrible things.. history is always very interesting!
Arben Karpuzi, thank you for watching. Your comment is right.
Greetings from Argentina.
What terrible things they did? Bombed down to the ground Drezda, Hamburg, Hiroshima, Nagasaki and killed thousands of innocent children and women? Oh, wait! No....
I absolutely agree with you. I love the Second World War period and to be able to walk through a house where so many decisions were made would be simply unforgettable.
No, they don't want to encourage pilgramage of fans. You could adore something... the wrong thing.
How many planes bombed the eagles nest?
the British must have dropped a lot of bombs
but they really didn’t do a whole lot of damage .
True they did damage it but they could have
flattened the whole thing.

Greetings from Argentina.
great video! I visited the area in the mid to late 1980es, there were still the stairs and garage of the Berghof and basement ruins of the other houses visible, some guys had climbed into the Berghof garage (main entry was either destroyed or under rubble) and were hammering away for souvenir bits I think, LOL. There were no signs at all showing where the Berghof was, just a path through the woods. We were shown around by an old guy from a place I interned at, he knew his way around there very well. Also visited some of the bunkers, most of the area was still a US Army recreation facility of some sort, so Hitler's bunker was not accessible to us. Was a fascinating visit, seeing these images superimposed so well is fantastic. Would have been a great video to have on hand back then. If I ever visit again, I'll remember to bring this up on my phone.

You are right, the road that leads to the Berghof and Hotel Zum Turken has a very steep slope, but it is worth it when you get to that beautiful place with so much history.

If they had not destroyed the Berghof, today for Germany would be a big tourist attraction, even more history on display.

Brilliantly cut together in a way that I have never seen before about the Berghof. Just one tiny detail, the British Prime Minister, Chamberlain, had Arthur as his first name but was always called Neville Chamberlain. He was never known as Arthur.

What an excellent video, really well put together, thank you from a new subscriber!
I visited this area with my family in the 1980s, staying in what was the General Walker hotel (now demolished). My son and I, both avid WW11 buffs, explored the remains of the Berghof and came across a man and a young boy lighting candles amongst the ruins of the garage, all that was left of the building to see.
This answers the question from Luca Goes Offroad in the comments below, as to why the Berghof was destroyed.....it would undoubtedly have become a shrine.

The Eagle's Nest looks to be the most intact of the area's buildings, and still in use today!

@rare6499, thank you very much for your words, you are very kind.
Greetings from Argentina.
Great production. I have been there and explored quite a bit of the Obersaltzberg. I was there in 2004 with a group of WWII American soldiers who actually occupied Eagle's Nest.
The construction of the place in the early 1930s was an incredible undertaking. The winding road there from Berchtesgaden below was an amazing engineering feat of its time. One of the soldiers I was with had a confiscated WWII German camera and took photos at while there in 1945. Standing in the same spot as then he held up the photos for comparison and virtually nothing had changed! Amazing! It's very high up in the Austrian Alps. So much history here. It was the trip of a lifetime!!
German Alps....!
@@karlhubben8009 Well....depends which mountains/Alps he is talking about. The town of Berchtesgaden, Berghoff and the Eagle's Nest are all located in Germany and if he is talking about anything there then he obviously made a mistake, but if you look anywhere South, West or East from that "view room" or from the main terrace of the Berghoff; the high mountain tops you will see are all in Austria. Austrian border is less than 10km from the former Hitler's house and Austria surrounds completely that little "peninsula" of the German territory where the "Nazi Bel Air" used to be located.

You're right, it would have been a great piece of history, but perhaps it would also have been a place of pilgrimage for new followers of fascist ideology.
Greetings from Argentina.
No, better off gone and forgotten as a place of pilgrimage, because you know they would.
Yes, it looked like a wonderful place. However, it was inhabited by monsters. Better to destroy it than keep it as a shine for Nazis.

The horrible events which took place in Europe, between 1919 and 1933, led directly up to a nation placing it's trust in the hands of a father-like figure. The crimes committed against several million blameless German citizens all across Europe, perpetrated by Americans, Soviets, Polish, and Czechs, during, and after the collapse in 1945, remain still too little accounted for. The political and economic enslavement of the German Nation after 1945, also came at a tremendous cost to all Europe, and all Western Culture. Too many millions perished, and Europe can never recover these losses.
Was the Marshall Plan one of those “crimes”?
@@tommyblack264 Bravo!
The criminals see themselves as blameless in the mass worldwide tragedy though we aided them on their rubble to regeneration.
@@stephendavis6066 Oh, you are all such saints! I repeat: Learn about the crimes committed against millions of blameless Germans between 1919, and 1933, all across Europe. You reap what you sow!

Wow, this video is absolutely mind-blowing! 😲 The comparison between the Berghof Residence then vs. now, along with other iconic spots where Hitler once stood, is nothing short of incredible. It's astonishing to see how time has transformed these places.
The Berghof Residence, once the epicenter of power during that dark era, now stands as a powerful testament to the passage of time and the triumph of history. The contrast between the past and the present is awe-inspiring, reminding us of the progress we've made as a society.
