    I was on a tour in around '97 or '98 and the tour guide told me he had been on tours when older men would approach the fire place and pull out a red rock from their pocket and try to form it on the mantel of the fireplace. You sharing this video is chilling to me.Thank you! He also said some would take out there .45's to chip off pieces of it.

That dieselroom I´ve seen before, nevertheless just look at the state it all is in, pristine! I´ve seen "after looting pictures" from the Nest and it was surprising how much were taken. Ceiling, different fixtures, handles, doors even those wooden panels from the Eva Braun room. I´m not so sure if those that are there today are original, not much else is. What a building...

    I went to Berchtesgaden, but didn't go up to the Eagle's Nest, as it was a very low cloud cover and my wife thought we shouldn't take the time to see it -- So I'm happy to see it in your travels, and how interesting to see the artifacts back in the rooms where they came from. Another great job. I'm surprised at the quality of your audio when you're outside and the wind was blowing - but you had not even a trace of wind noise! Keep up the good work, and I'll look forward to getting back to Gettysburg and going to the Gettysburg Museum of History.

      It's likely that someone from the motor pool or an engineer was stationed in the engine room to keep the power on. That would explain the complete original tool set. Many of those tools are probably sized specifically for the fasteners on that engine. And even if they are standard metric sizes they would be a necessity for American GI's to be able to work on it, since American GI's wouldn't have metric tools on hand.

    Absolutely Incredible. You know, I can almost promise you that just about any major network on cable that routinely produces WW2 content would have loved to use these artifacts in one of their productions. Think The History Channel, etc. I will even go as far as to say that these artifacts are so unique with very such very clear provenance that the budget for such a production might have been in the ball park of $200,000 - $300,000 dollars easily if not more. Basically, It would have been a very big deal and made into a very big deal. "Keys to the Eagles Nest." .... that has to be a Top 10 WW2 relic easy. Right up there with Hitler's pistol to Rommel's Africa uniform, to other incredible war trophies. Amazing.

    I watched your video of the Eagles Nest and I remember being there in 1962. My dad was in charge of the Consulate he was given that assignment in '61 appointed by Dean Rusk and JFK. My sister and brother and I commuted daily from Salzburg to the U.S.Army school in Berchtesgaden. I remember the the walk up to the elevator especially, but being 9 years old I didn't remember all the gold in the elevator. A little more history about Salzburg, Kennedy closed the consulate so we were then stationed in Frankfurt Germany. Then when Richard Nixon came thru Salzburg he reopened the Consulate. It's probably too late to mention but the salt mine in Berchtesgaden was a fun day trip.

    To think that all over the world is parts of the Eagles Nest, including cutlery, chandeliers, chairs, parts of the fire place etc, like puzzle pieces, all sitting in museums and peoples houses enough to pretty much restore it to how it originally was bar any permanently damaged items, I love how you have brought some of it back, it brings the actual WW2 soldiers stories to life rather than just hearsay.

The reason for the mirrored elevator was also enlightening. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see what's next.

    As I watch this series, and given the tragedies ongoing in Ukraine, stories like these need to be told. Unbiased education of the past on this dark period in human history is more needed now, then ever. Such a beautiful place shrouded with such evil under-currents would make a great bit of educational content for our younger generations curriculum. If our public education system and social medial handlers weren't so preoccupied with putting knee pads on everything, they would see the massive value in teaching this. Great work as usual. We have your back!

      What does this have to do with Ukraine?

      @@elchapito4580 I suggest a history lesson on the comparisons between the behavior of the Russian army in Ukraine and the German Army as they moved east through Europe as it pertains to the treatment of civilians and war crimes. Its eerily similar. I was making a comparison of the methods and mentality of the Nazi's and how Putin is sitting on his high throne doing the same thing to the Ukrainian people. It was a comment on the entire series of videos not this Eagles Nest video alone. Its simply where I made the comment. If you read and understood where I was coming from in my original comment, maybe you wouldn't feel the need to troll me.

      @@PCPAyLOAD totally agree with all you say dude. If you ever get a chance I recommend reading "das Führer" or "the Führer". It details how Hitler took power and how he conquered Europe the way he did. Exactly the same kinda tactics a certain VP is trying in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.

      The schools are more interested in helping children choose a gender they want to be than serious, important things like history.

    Wonderful video. I've been to Eagle's Nest and on a more clear day, you can see Salzburg Austria. When I was there, there were parasailers staying up all afternoon capturing the updrafts of the mountains. I AM a bit disappointed in that there was no videos or pictures taken in the elevator. It's a beautiful piece of engineering/manufacture. We did get to go into the engine room, but this was 30 years ago and I don't know if the Uboat engine was actually used for power at that time. The place was pretty much closed as it was in the colder months and not too much was going on. The main room (with the fireplace) is now used as a restaurant.

    A fun and well-done video! Thanks!
    Although I take issue with the term "looted," that's a bit extreme. The GI's themselves preferred the term "liberated!" 🤣🤣🤣
    Believe it or not that diesel engine still works! There's a RUclips video out there showing a contemporary demonstration start-up.
    I forgot to mention in the last video that "Golden Elevator" is an atonishing piece of craftsmanship!
    Thanks again!

      ​@@TheHistoryUndergroundRoyal Ulster Rifles Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Lt Richard Morgan RUR, British Army, "liberated them" when he was liberated by the US 69th Division on 16 April 1945. They have some amazing stuff. They have Josef Kramer's (commandant of Bergen-Belsen) bullwhip. The Royal Ulster Rifles were involved in its liberation and from memory arrested Kramer too.
