I was stunned to see the original diesel generator and the control panel still in working order , amazingly the original tools still there , after all it is made in Germany.
It is really too bad that some of the other structures of the Obersalzberg didn't survive the war as well as this. The architecture and skills of the builders were second to none.
@@robertbates6249 From Berchtesgaden it is best to drive instead of trying to walk to the Obersalzberg where the berghof was located. In this area there is a parking lot where special buses take you to the kelstein Haus or Eagle's Nest. You can either take these buses or hike up to the top. Check out my video of the bus ride.
@@robertbates6249 not difficult at all. Here is my video of the bus ride to the entrance for the Eagle's Nest...ruclips.net/video/eMfyNt_ka2g/видео.html
I tried to visit the area in September 2016 on my way to Italy for the F1 race. The area was under cloud cover and it was raining more often than not so there wasn't much chance to see anything. I crossed into Italy via the Brenner Pass and it had been snowing a fair bit. Italy was nice and warm though.
I took a tour of Eagles Nest nearly 30 years ago. The tour guide was most informative. When at the top, I spoke with a former Nazi soldier in his eighties and listened to his war stories. Amazing place to visit.
I was there in 1994 on a brisk, beautiful clear October day. Incredible views of the mountains. What I remember most is the bus ride up the mountain with the 6-level brakes system on the bus, the elevator ride to the top and then the breath taking views. The night before I went into a restricted area with my brother-in-law down into the bomb shelters built by the Nazis. The General Walker Inn was a beautiful place, sadly I've learned the Germans have torn it down.
A bit hard since it was extensively bombed on the second to last bombing mission.l then set ablaze by fleeing SS. Then what remained was destroyed by explosives to stop fanatics having a place to return to
Very very interesting! Special thanks for filming / photographing the details and type plate of the old Siemens&Halske three-phase AC generator with its data. As told in the video, the original elevator winch from 1938 doesn't exist anymore, it was replaced in 1972. Are there any data of the winch motor known? The new machine filmed in the video seems to be a gearless DC machine ( I think the old original machine too). Data would be interesting (Power, DC voltage & amperage). Thanks for sharing this video !
I was there in 1973, while station with the 385 th M.P. Bn in Stuttgart, Germany. I was hoping someone would show the view from the buses during the accent and decent. Brings back alot of memories. Larry W. Ours
If you mean the "Das Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopft" in "Sperrgebiet I", Obersalzberg (only minutes walking distance from Herr Hitlers Berghof) , you are correct But to the narrators innocense there is a "Teezimmer .. Teeraum" at Kehlsteinhaus too. Sometimes confused with the "Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopf" And since the Teehaus am Mooslahnerkopf does not excist anymore (flattend by the US Army / Freistat Bayern in 1951 / 2006 in fear of worthship of den Herrn Adolf Hitler), people often confuse things ....
I have to marvel at German engineering in 1930s. Absolutely mind-blowing. It is stupid for humans throughout the history to destroy enemy creations out of rage because so much can be learned and re-used. Would love to visit this place. Seen other videos but loved the engineering aspects on this. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant to see this with the English narration. Thanks you. I would love to see some of the other earlier tunnel exploration documentraries in English too.
I've had the opportunity to enter the operating room(2:14) with a tour group. The tour director had made arrangements for the tour group prior to our visit.
Very cool video and history...so glad this has survived and is being take care for future generations....plus it still can do it's job today...not many things can say that today or will even last that long ....love the riding on top of the elevator view ...Thankyou for such great videos ...very nice work and fast becoming one of my favorite channels!!!
Ive been in Buildings in the USA - Maryland, that had NAZI made Boilers for Heating and Hot water. They are still functional and working great. Quality craftsmanship.
That was very, very, very well done! I visited the Haus Oct 2022, and this doc really filled in some gaps that i really wanted to know. They wouldn't let me film or photograph anything around the elevator.
Back in summer 1994 I scrambled round the side of the mountain at the peak and a lift door opened up what seemed like from the rocks parting. I clambered inside with some other German Jews who were already inside a bthe brass lift. I pressed the button to go to the bottom floor nearly 2km down and I reached the bottom in 1 second or less as I steal feal like I was left there to this day and as I climbed out I turned around and the people in the lift where gone I'll never forget it it was a surreal experience I wish everyone could experience. Peace
I’m a lift mechanic in America, I could easily maintain that gearless hoist motor. Most of the buildings in NYC I work in still have similar equipment in them. Built to last. Not like the garbage Schindler builds today sorry to say.
This shows germans were really decades ahead of everyone else ,americans and english were so busy bombing everything they didn't manage to preserve all the beautiful architecture
I've been up there. The view is fantastic, but getting up there us scary. Especially if like me your afraid of heights. I believe Hitler didn't visit too often. He wasn't too keen on it.
Having been stationed in Germany with the USAF, Bavaria was always where we would head for. When family and friends would visit is always meant visits to Ludwig’s castles and the Eagles Nest. We made four visits to the Eagles Nest, and that was three too many. Pretty good video, but you should have included the bus ride up and back down,as well as the special buses that made the trips.
If only all the buildings at Obersalzberg had been saved including the Berghof that was destroyed as a result of irresponsible and needless bombing by the allies? The quality of construction of the Eagles Nest and the superb engineering of the lift and electrical generator are superb!
I think he built a similar version in Argentina using a submarine as a power station. You basically just park the sub in a man-made Lagoon and then fill in around it. 51 Subs are missing and I bet if you dig in Argentina you find one.
@@papagen00 Nothing to do with the church, at least not from my point of view. The man was the epitome of evil, and deserves the most severe punishment.
When I was there in 2007 we were not allowed to see the generator motor. I don't recall seeing the swastika at the end of the access tunnel but I remember hearing that Hitler's driver had to back into the tunnel because Hitler was claustrophobic. I also remember seeing a sign in the elevator asking that customers don't use flash photography because the operator was sensitive to it. But customers did it anyway. Customers are wrong. If only the person who stole my camera afterward would have just kept his or her hands to themself...
An interesting short film, however quite old footage and i have to say quite a few inaccuracies in the narration! How do i know? I was tour guide visiting every week in the summer for the last 10 years and have read most of the historical books and information about the Eagles Nest. when i took over as a tour guide i researched the script i was given and found that parts of the information that had been passed on to me had been twisted for dramatic effect, i then trained up a fellow guide, and on sitting in on his tour found he did the same.
If that is the same elevator that services the tea house, Albert Speer wrote that Hitler was afraid of being trapped and only rode it once. As Hitler was a natural risk taker, I think he was mainly concerned with being embarrassed or even being caught in a coup. Speer and possibly Goebbels thought it was funny that the dispised Bormann's gift to Hitler wasn't appreciated.

all that open space around that facility, i wonder if they built other places out there, even if underground 🤔 ... maybe underneath it, a tunnel to bunker thing?
official records say he visited 17 times, also the hated theory is an exaggerated myth that has grown over the years! a very easy bit of speculation easily repeated!
Not in to the actual elevator no, however Hitlers chauffeur did drive his car to the end of the tunnel, he then reversed out and reversed back in again, so when collecting Hitler he was always going forward.
Beautiful building but I will not eat or drink in a place where a mass murderer has bin. I can not even drink or eat this stuff by thinking off this animal that has murder thousands of people. Iff you think what he did? No thank you.

It's terrible that they destroyed most of the compound.
We visited there in 2012 and will never forget the incredible view and the great meal we had that day.. This video helps us relive that trip.
is it a difficult trip to get there?

Very interesting . I remember visiting on a school trip some 47 years ago. The thing that stood out was the brass lift.
Incredible.. wow. It’s crazy how Siemens is still a company and running strong.
I think most German companies that benefited from WW2 are still going strong.
Nice beautiful place to see from the roof. Good to see it still in working order.
*All of it is.*
The tools on the wall, unbelievable.
Great video showing more than is visible to visitors. Wish the length of the video was longer.

So glad that tech was saved! Marvel of engineering
My favourite place to visit, with stunning views.
The views from there are truly amazing. Ride up and down is a little scary but well worth it.
What a beautiful place is Germany.

Went there in 2000, quite a place to see.
Another great video!
Visited in early 80s. A lot of the work was done by Italian craftsmen and apparently paid very well.
Super and ultra interesting!! Sir,you have films about the Führerbunker?
I Went there in the 90s with my mate we had a great time there hot dogs sold at the entrance were epic 👍🏼🇬🇬
Unreal ✅. I have original pictures of this Eagles Nest As my Grandfather took in 1945 During the end of the War. I so wish to visit. One day

Been there many times...

only used it half a dozen times. !
