Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOR WORLD WAR II buffs, this "Berchtesgaden, Obersalzberg & Hitler's Eagle's Nest" do-it-yourself guidebook is a must have! Why pay to join a tour when you can do all the sights yourself? Situated 25 km from Salzburg, Austria, and two hours south of Munich, this Alpine region boasts some of Germany's most beautiful scenery. Imagine pine-fresh air, quaint Bavarian farmhouses, onion-domed churches, and mountain rivulets cutting through lush meadows home to lethargic cows playing tunes with the bells hanging from their necks. Picture men clad in lederhosen, women wearing busty dirndls, girls sporting pigtails, and hikers clutching ornamented sticks seemingly within arm's reach of jagged peaks belonging to gigantic mountains. It's authentic Bavaria; it's Berchtesgadenerland, the real deal, and waiting for your visit! Besides swooshing through salt mines and gliding across the idyllic waters of Konigssee (the only lake in Central Europe most similar to a Scandinavian fjord), you'll get a better understanding of what once was the seat of an empire on Obersalzberg, the spiritual heartland of Nazi Germany. For example, page 17 narrates the mountain's history followed by the section Obersalzberg Today; then Obersalzberg 1933-45 (pages 20-26), a fascinating do-it-yourself recount of how the Alpine redoubt looked during the Third Reich. Page 26 begins the reader on a do-it-yourself subterranean journey into a network of tunnels laced with machine-gun nests leading to Hitler's former mansion, the Berghof. And pages 30-35 lift the reader up to 6,000 feet for the history of the Eagle's Nest and a do-it-yourself tour of the mountain-top property. Information you won't find anywhere else, but here!
Download or read book Hitler s Berchtesgaden written by Geoffrey R. Walden and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1925, Adolf Hitler chose a remote mountain area in the south-east corner of Germany as his home. Hitler settled in a small house on the Obersalzberg, a district overlooking the picturesque town of Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps. After Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, the Obersalzberg area was transformed into the southern seat of power for the Nazi Party. Eventually, the locale became a complex of houses, barracks and command posts for the Nazi hierarchy, including the famous Eagle’s Nest, and the mountain was honeycombed with tunnels and air raid shelters. A bombing attack at the end of the Second World War damaged many of the buildings and some were later torn down, but several of the ruins remain today, hidden in woods and overgrown. Hitler’s Berchtesgaden: A Guide to Third Reich Sites in the Berchtesgaden and Obersalzberg Area will help history-minded explorers find these largely-forgotten sites, both on the Obersalzberg and in Berchtesgaden and the surrounding area, with detailed directions for driving and walking tours. Illustrations: 100 colour photographs

Download or read book Hitler s Last Secretary written by Traudl Junge and published by Skyhorse Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1942 Germany, Traudl Junge was a young woman with dreams of becoming a ballerina when she was offered the chance of a lifetime. At the age of twenty-two she became private secretary to Adolf Hitler and served him for two and a half years, right up to the bitter end. Junge observed the intimate workings of Hitler's administration, she typed correspondence and speeches, including Hitler's public and private last will and testament; she ate her meals and spent evenings with him; and she was close enough to hear the bomb that was intended to assassinate Hitler in the Wolf's Lair, close enough to smell the bitter almond odor of Eva Braun's cyanide pill. In her intimate, detailed memoir, Junge invites readers to experience day-to-day life with the most horrible dictator of the twentieth century. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
Download or read book Hitler s Alpine Retreat written by James Wilson and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2007-03-28 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of Nazi propaganda shots, including “rare images of Adolf Hitler socializing with children and supporters at his notorious Alpine hideaway” (Daily Mail). Adolf Hitler became “completely captivated” by Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg when he first visited the area in 1923. In time, he bought Haus Wachenfeld and made the area his second seat of government. This meant major construction of the Berghof barracks, administrative buildings, airstrips and the famous “Eagle’s Nest.” During the war massive tunnels were dug. Most were destroyed by allied bombing in April 1945. This original book tells the story of the area, and—in contemporary postcards and photographs—how it was transformed by Hitler and his henchmen (Goering, Goebbels and Borman).

Download or read book Hitler s Engineers written by Blaine Taylor and published by Casemate. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An intriguing account of two of Nazi Germany’s top architects” and how their work prolonged the war for months—includes hundreds of photos (WWII History). A Selection of the Military Book Club. While Nazi Germany’s temporary ascendancy owed much to military skill, the talent of its engineers not only buoyed the regime but allowed it to survive longer than would normally be expected. This unique work focusing on Fritz Todt and Albert Speer is based on many previously unpublished photographs and artwork from captured Nazi records. Todt was the brilliant builder of the world’s first superhighway system, the Autobahn, and the architect of the German West Wall, the Siegfried Line, that predated the later Atlantic and East Walls. The builder of each of the wartime “Führer Headquarters,” as well as the submarine pens, Todt was killed in a still-mysterious airplane crash that may well have been a Nazi death plot, though he was given a state funeral by Hitler. Todt was succeeded as German Minister of Armaments and War Production by the Führer’s longtime personal architect, Albert Speer, who was described by the Allies after the war as having prolonged the conflict by at least a year. Called a genius by Hitler, Speer designed and built the prewar Nuremberg Nazi Party Congress rally stands and buildings. More importantly, amid the constant rain of Allied bombs and the Soviet advances from the East, Speer managed to keep the German industrial machine running until the spring of 1945, though it was driven ever further underground. He also allocated resources to fortifications and counterattacks, like the V-missile installations, against both West and East, in attempts to stave off defeat. Convicted as a war criminal at Nuremberg, Speer served twenty years at Spandau Prison and remained a Nazi apologist who died in London in 1981 on the anniversary of the German invasion of Poland. Together, Todt and Speer were the pillars that propped up the Third Reich through the vicissitudes of battlefield fortune. With over three hundred photographs, this is the first work that examines their role in history’s most terrible war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this unique book James Wilson demonstrates, using 270 original German postcards from his personal collection, how Hitler's obsession with the beautiful and normally peaceful region of Berchtesgardener Land, and in particular the area known as the Obersalzberg, was used to project a powerful but totally misleading image of this most evil regime. This book offers an extraordinary atmospheric opportunity to view the landscape, buildings (most now long disappeared) and close associates of the Fuhrer. Each of the contemporary images records a unique moment of history which would otherwise have been lost forever."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Ostkrieg written by Stephen G. Fritz and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 22, 1941, Germany launched the greatest land assault in history on the Soviet Union, an attack that Adolf Hitler deemed crucial to ensure German economic and political survival. As the key theater of the war for the Germans, the eastern front consumed enormous levels of resources and accounted for 75 percent of all German casualties. Despite the significance of this campaign to Germany and to the war as a whole, few English-language publications of the last thirty-five years have addressed these pivotal events. In Ostkrieg: Hitler's War of Extermination in the East, Stephen G. Fritz bridges the gap in scholarship by incorporating historical research from the last several decades into an accessible, comprehensive, and coherent narrative. His analysis of the Russo-German War from a German perspective covers all aspects of the eastern front, demonstrating the interrelation of military events, economic policy, resource exploitation, and racial policy that first motivated the invasion. This in-depth account challenges accepted notions about World War II and promotes greater understanding of a topic that has been neglected by historians.
Download or read book Hitler s Alpine Headquarters written by James Wilson and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2014-01-13 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitler's Alpine Headquarters look at the development of the Obersalzberg from a small, long established farming community, into Hitler's country residence and the Nazis' southern headquarters. Introducing new images and additional text, this book is a much expanded sequel to the author's acclaimed Hitler's Alpine Retreat (P & S 2005). This book will appeal to those with a general interest in the Third Reich. It explains how and why Hitler chose this area to build a home and his connection to this region.??New chapters focus on buildings and individuals of Hitler's inner circle not covered in the earlier book. The development of the region is extensively covered by use of contemporary propaganda postcards and accompanying detailed text. Presenting the history of this region and the many associated important historical moments in contemporary postcards allows the reader to view the subject matter as it was presented to the masses at that time. With over 300 images and three maps, and the opportunity to compare a number of 'then and now' images, the story of Hitler's Southern Headquarters is brought to life through this extensive coverage.??Two seasons as an expert tour guide specializing in the history of the region during the Third Reich period allowed the author to carry out his own detailed research. There is an interview with a local man, who, as a small boy was photographed with Hitler, together with comments gathered during a recent meeting with Rochus Misch who served on Hitler's staff.
