It is wrong to remove these monuments because they represent a large part of the history of Germany. I am not talking about political trends or what happened in that era, but there is a history that must be preserved. The amazing and modern construction style that is now simulating our time is very beautiful.
@@brianfield792 Are you dumb or what?? I see that you can not recognize the beauty of history and historical monuments! If you don't know, history is a part of our life and it should be preserved, so we could remember our mistakes and get them repaired.
In 2017 while traveling to the Adriatic coast, my wife and I , booked for a night, a better room at the hotel "Zum Turken" in Berghof. The hotel breathes the 30s and 40s (furniture, décor, no TV, no internet, no WI-FI). The scenery is breathtaking. Of course, we visited the ruins (the basements) of the "Hitler's house", 100 meters from the Hotel and covered by the undergrowth. The atmosphere is "heavy" . Fortunately, the owner of the hotel is a charming, dynamic woman. She told us the story of this hotel and her family (we were the only guests). It's really worthy of a movie. She showed us the photos of the world dignitaries who stayed in her establishment (heads of state, generals, astronauts). If you want to face history, this is the place.
It’s a shame it was destroyed, but I understand it would stop it from being a shrine to the ‘ not right in the head’ folk, but to people like myself who genuinely enjoy visiting historic sites it’s a shame, I have visited this site and being an ex British soldier I do find it of huge historical importance, there is still a lot to see around this area..
While stationed in Nuremburg 1986-1989, I visited the Obersalzberg on many occasions. I stayed in what was known at the time the General Walker Hotel. The remains of the Berghof garage were still there but filled in. I still have "souvenir" pieces of tile from The Berghof, The Goring House, The Bormann House and the tea house. Eagles Nest was pretty awesome as well. Would like to go back one day and see it all again..
What a guy--couldnt see him ever getting captured, and a planned escape was always on the cards---his still in the top 50 of books that are being read!!!
The Berghof's shell survived until 1952 when the Bavarian government demolished it with explosives on 30 April. The Berghof, the houses of Göring and Bormann, the SS barracks, the Kampfhäusl and the teahouse were all destroyed. This had been part of an agreement under which the Americans handed the area back to the Bavarian authorities. There was fear that the ruins would become a neo-Nazi shrine and tourist attraction.
It could, and would, still become a neo-Nazi shrine and tourist attraction either way. It seems like Nazi sites in Europe are becoming tourist attractions more and more anyway.
These places are of huge historical interest, not to worship hitler or nazism but to help us remember what happened, why and how. Destroying buildings that are a part of that history is stupid.
The door to the bunker wasn't so much "sealed", as it was buried under several feet of rubble. If you look at photos of the retaining wall before the bombing, you'll see that it appears to be much taller than it is today. That's due to the rubble having been graded over the foundation of the house, including the bunker door. The Bavarian government wanted the Obersalzberg to be returned to its pre-Nazi era appearance so as not to encourage neo-Nazis making pilgrimages to the area. There were several families, in the area, who were forced off their land by Martin Borman in his quest to please Hitler, as the Obersalzberg was turned into a Nazi military installation. This never sat well with the majority of Bavarians. Also, the history of the Hotel zum Turken is very interesting. The family that owned it was forced out, and the hotel was turned into an SS barracks. After the war, the family reclaimed ownership and the hotel was restored and reopened.
Idiocy destroying this and half of Germany, how come Kings and Queens were bastards but we havn't destroyed their palaces ? this was history just the same, this is the best video i've seen of this place, well done
Absolutely beautiful piece of architecture, it has always been fascinating to me. I think if the sight was rebuilt it would be an amzing way to teach history but i understand the people of the town below might not want a recreation of hitlers house above their town glaring down at them.
It is a rather surreal thing to stand at this spot on the Obersalzburg and reflect on what was, as shown here. For me personally, two of my former homes have suffered this same fate having completely disappeared , and it’s weird to stand on the land where each was and remember what happened there too. Whilst I understand the raw politics of the time in the closing days of this conflict, with the building having been severely bombed and later, after the capitulation and occupation, the directive to raze the structure, that act itself has robbed us of not only a powerful historical edifice, but also a substantial tool to teach about the evils of what happened there. Like it or not, Third Reich tourism is quite strong in Central Europe, and Bavaria has robbed itself of a massive money-spinner, as distasteful as that history may be. That building, like the Wannsee villa in Berlin for example, should have been retained primarily to document the times and the crimes of National Socialist Germany and as a warning from history.
Thank you for the perspective. It really brings home the expanse of the Berghoff. I am ill at the sight of the site yet grateful for you work. I will be sharing with as many youth as I can, in the hopes it will never happen again..
Its such an injustice to believe you can erase history by destroying monuments. If the building was still standing the area would have increased in economical value as thousands of people would have paid for an opportunity to tour the residence of a legend.
I wouldn't go so far as to call him a legend. He was however an extremely rare human one of which may be unique to himself, We may never see another person with so much charisma and power over other humans. This in of itself makes him a spectacular subject to investigate, Even posthumously the discussion is one of excitement and mystery. I wish no humans face what had to be faced by his enemies but I will never say this time period and this man weren't at the least Interesting.
@@WizardOrangeScorpion Good post and very interesting ideas.I am surprised you have not had abusive texts from the brain dead on here (usually septic tanks ) who have only one dimensional brains and thoughts.
@@djangorheinhardt while I admit his acts were morally unjust I also (very clearly) said there are some interesting things about this same person. I think it's important to separate one's beliefs and opinions from morals and values when intrigue is concerned. We are allowed to be interested in the dark side of life and the things that are aberrant and weird, For it is those who study these subjects that can learn a lot where others are simply too scared to look. It is however also important to note that i make a distinction between a case study like this and how I personally feel. I may think Hitler as a human in history is interesting however I do also think morally he was very much a villain. An interesting one none the less. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
If nazi germany would had been just an invader of countries and not killers of innocent children and elderly, the “legend “ name probably would had stayed, and maybe the house
@@knocksensor3203 mmm England did try to kill an entire race and they are not remembered like that, right now there's a second holocaust in Palestine performed by Israel and someway USA and nobody remember them like children killers or civilian bombers, french and English made and entire civilization out of stealing and slavering poor countries and I don't see you complain about it.
The reason it was demolished was that it would attract those who subscribed to Nazi ideology. It would be an alter to the man who destroyed millions of lives. Most people in Germany would have wanted to put it all in the past. Even today, Germans do not want to discuss what happened there in the 1930s and 1940s.
@J. not anyone is able to travel half the world to see it, i think it's important to keep reminders many places. But it's a great thing the death camps are preserved. At least some of them. I went to Sachsenhausen and that really made an impression on me
Nice job. I've not been to Europe, but I had uncles serve under General George Patton fighting the Germans in WWII. That said.. My mothers family was from Germany. I would have wished this be preserved. This to show the history of man whether good or bad..
That's the best you can do? You need another league of psychotic murderers to take you by the hand and lead you back into rubble and ashes? That's your go-to for your problems? Sure you can't think of anything else?
I visited the site of the Berghof in 2019 and found it to be a sombre place, yet discovered an unexpected sense of peace, in its evil history and yet ultimate ruin! Whilst there, around the trees, I saw a number of candles which I later discovered to be yahrzeit candles. In retrospect I found this profoundly moving.
What kind of candles? Who left them? I would always leave flowers; it isn’t an evil place, it’s just tragic and the they shouldn’ t have destroyed. I would always leave flowers there because it is tragic and it hurts. At least the place should still be there to seize the atmosphere.
What a pity that the Berghof was demolished! I think that doing this was a mistake. I can understand the reasoning behind doing this at the time when it was done. Austria thought they could erase the past by totally demolishing anything associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. They really wanted to distance themselves as much as possible from it. I'm sure that they would have loved to demolish the Eagles nest also! Just look at the amount of people that visit the Eagles nest every year! If the Berghof had still been standing I'm sure it would have attracted just as many, perhaps even more! Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it! No saying could be more true.
You are incorrect. The Berghof is in GERMANY, not Austria. The Americans destroyed the Berghof by bombing it in the closing months of the war. Austria had nothing to do with it, although there are tours out of Salzburg, Austria, to the Eagles Nest as it is close to the Austrian border.
A wonderful place to visit, sadly those affected by the events had it removed but the eagles nest is still there to visit. A beautiful part of the world.
The Brits bombed it in 1945 knowing Hitler was in Berlin. Why? Later in 1952 the West German govt destroyed what was left. Another "nanny" govt deciding a remnant of Nazism might become a shrine of Nazism. I think Americans made Its destruction a condition giving Bavaria back to W. German govt. In any case it's an artifact of WWII, historians and tourists alike would have liked to see this place.
Don't forget folks the area was heavily bombed by the RAF as it was rumored the Nazis would make a last stand there. Also was torched by retreating SS soldiers then vandalised etc by the US army. I don't think there was much left to save. Great video, it helped me get a great perspective of the overall layout. Definitely on my bucket list of places to visit.
I'm South African and from German descent (can't speak a word german though) and very interested and fascinated by this part of german history and the atrocities that occurred under Hitler's rule.
As everyone can see at 5:46, the retaining wall was very high, at least 8 meters high. Now it is still intact, but emerges just 1 to 3 meters above the ground. This means that most of the Berghof's ruins are under today's ground, which is more or less at Berghof's 2nd level, were was Hitler's office, room and Eva Braun's rooms, above the grand Hall. Tons of earth and rubbles have been moved to the Berghof's site to make it dissapear completely, but if excavation was done, the foundations would emerge
I have been watching these before/ after videos in awe... It is so confusing that we alternate between preserving the history or markers of a place and at other times want to destroy any evidence of history. There are so many buildings and locations that are thousands of years old in the world, and new generations have an opportunity to learn from the relics. I guess our modern society just wants to erase anything that offends them today. On the other hand, I have been watching the videos about past/ present Berlin and Nuremberg, and am amazed how modern people may have NO IDEA of the history of the places they pass every day. Thank you for these historical videos, which I hope will survive us all in the future....!!!!
Vagabond, you did a great job of "then and now". Have to say though as a German who loves nature: the place is as nice without the Berghof as it was with it--just a different perspective.
@right back at ya - I think the West German government destroyed what was left of the place. But my point is that Hitler ordered that the place were destroyed.
I was there many times in 2002-2003-2004. The Allies should have captured the place intact and not devastated the countryside. Many people go there today, and it isn't just for the great scenery; they go there because of Adolf Hitler himself. That should tell you something about the political mood over there, outside of the liberal government.
There are rooms still underground,with the frame for the Great window intact,I was in them with my American friend,Bud,who joked"What would Hitler think of a Yank and Irish man in his house?"
Look how many visit the Eagles Nest. All the drawings and photos of the Berghof exist so rebuild it, It would more than pay for itself as a historic site. It would not be a shrine anymore than the Eagles Nest is. Graceland is not a shrine to Elvis. Millions enjoy the tours.
Well done video...great to watch! Can anyone tell me what's the Music in the video? It is really destucitve but I like it and you even couldn't choose a better one for this video
Look at what's left of the home of those who thought themselves the greatest in the world! Such a beautiful facade that disguised the filth within. It was nothing but a den of animals, and fittingly remains so still.
love to get in there with a metal detector or xray machine to actualy map out the whole area. bet there would be some interesting finds maybe. BEAUTIFLY DONE KUDOS TO ALL CONCERNED MATE. AND A LOVE THE MUSIC!

Should have never been destroyed. Place was beautiful.

You did a great job of bringing the Berghof from the ashes. Looks like it was a beautiful place to escape to.
even better now
Nicely done educational video. This site should have not been destroyed. It should have been preserved for later research and study.

Yes it was a shame. I visited there a few years back and it was a very eerie experience just to know that the Fuhrer was in that exact spot as I was
Even when it was a pile of rubble the Germans blew it up again and removed 99% of all the materials used.
@@simonrussell6884 oh that’s interesting to know…not heard that before, Thanks Simon

whatever you think about hitler. beghof should have been preserved for history
Great very detailed video, its on my list to visit maybe this year, when are you next there?
It is an historical shame this was ever demolished… As it was as Iconic as a palace of Napoleon…
Vagabond, you did a great job of "then and now". Have to say though as a German who loves nature: the place is as nice without the Berghof as it was with it--just a different perspective.
Destroyed by jealousy.
@@jogerner2246 - Hitler himself ordered his SS troops there to destroy the whole place so it wouldn't be captured by his enemies.
Black girls must goes on ths right SIDE with your family... DR. MENEGELE KNOWS WHERE🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@right back at ya - I think the West German government destroyed what was left of the place. But my point is that Hitler ordered that the place were destroyed.
Unconditional surrender is nothing to be jealous of.
Hi! Thanks for the video. I literally cried watching it. I would like to know how did you know the location of each room and place?
Thanks great video would love to visit one day.
Nice video
Do not mourn because it's gone. Rejoice because it once was there.
qué bien hicieron destruyendo la "casita"...qué bien un lugar hoy en día mucho más hermoso aún
It is so sad , who is distroyed like this beautiful place , it is historical place. Long live Dutch people.
I think you meant Deutsch (German) ?
I was there many times in 2002-2003-2004. The Allies should have captured the place intact and not devastated the countryside. Many people go there today, and it isn't just for the great scenery; they go there because of Adolf Hitler himself. That should tell you something about the political mood over there, outside of the liberal government.
There are rooms still underground,with the frame for the Great window intact,I was in them with my American friend,Bud,who joked"What would Hitler think of a Yank and Irish man in his house?"
Soo.... Tell me where is the entrance, because im here in bertechsgarden.
@@pmendes843 Close to retaining wall but sadly now blocked up,enjoy the beautiful area any way.
The frame still exists?
Excellent video! 👌🏼👌🏼
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Very surreal, the music was perfect
Music: Chris Zabriskie - Cylinder Seven
Look how many visit the Eagles Nest. All the drawings and photos of the Berghof exist so rebuild it, It would more than pay for itself as a historic site.
It would not be a shrine anymore than the Eagles Nest is. Graceland is not a shrine to Elvis. Millions enjoy the tours.
Video espetacular
it must be preserved for tourism purposes and for Germany's History and Economy . . .
Well done video...great to watch! Can anyone tell me what's the Music in the video? It is really destucitve but I like it and you even couldn't choose a better one for this video
Well done, thanks!
Casi, casi, clavado. Que bien buscado 😁✋🦁😉 He tardado, 1/2 horas en darme cuenta xD Como mucho.
Open borders for Israel
Fourth Reisch coming soon
5:26 Where is this part inside the Burkhof? I know the floor plan, but I don’t recognize this area.
The is best video I’ve seen about the Berkhof. 👍👏
Look at what's left of the home of those who thought themselves the greatest in the world! Such a beautiful facade that disguised the filth within. It was nothing but a den of animals, and fittingly remains so still.
love to get in there with a metal detector or xray machine to actualy map out the whole area. bet there would be some interesting finds maybe. BEAUTIFLY DONE KUDOS TO ALL CONCERNED MATE. AND A LOVE THE MUSIC!
Nothing seems to be left. Too bad to have destroyed everything, we should have kept the buildings
I don’t know why they don’t build a replica of it, the eagles nest is still there , so what is the big deal?
They should rebuild it
No, defintely NOT!
It is a part of history should not be distroy.
I just don't buy the "we had to destroy it to stop it from becoming a shrine" thing. Its a shame, they should have been kept for history's sake.
I read traudi junge's memoir. That place mentioned as well
