Berchtesgaden and The Eagles Nest Germany // World War 2 Road Trip

We continue our tour of Europe WW2 sites, visiting the southern Bavarian town of Berchtesgaden and the Eagles Nest, or Kehlsteinhaus.
The Eagles nest of was one of the last places liberated by the allies in World War Two, marking the end of World War 2 in Europe.
The HBO Series Band of Brothers made an episode about this part of the war, and as Kelly's dad is a huge BOB fan and WW2 history buff, We had to go and check it out.
Be sure to check out the rest of our videos from our World War 2 road trip
