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

@ Its no secret that the jews were in certain positions prior to ww2 and just because that gets mentioned there, doesnt mean its antisemitic.
Going to Kehlsteinhaus, Eagles Nest is spectacular and it has wonderful vibes and so does the ruins of the Berghoff. It’s history and one can’t hate all Germans because of the war. The view from up there on a sunny day is spectacular. 😊

It's definitely spectacular and we love Germany and Germans! But we also can't forget the evil that some of the past men perpetuated and we were just getting done of those vibes. But still amazing!
What a great trip. Being able to see all of those sights and eat great German food. I like the brats also. It was also great to help your dad cross off something on his bucket list

Been there back in 1994. It was amazing
what time did you reach the dokumentation center and how long was the queue to buy tickets for the shuttle bus up to the Eagle's Nest
Cool video. How did you get permission to fly the drone?
I was there about 25 years ago, the rest.was not there, I took a tour from Austria, the view from outside were gorgeous..

Great video as always... I was in Germany in the beginning of this summer.. And the German word that got me was "Ausfahrt" which you see everywhere, and I believe means exit.. but all I could see was "Ass Fart" Lol..

It looked absolutely void of tourists. Is it always like that? I would have thought it was a crowded very touristy place?

I think we caught it at the end of the day, on a day forecasted for rain, so that may have played into the lack of people
Nice. Would have liked to see the lift though. Also, Hitler hated the Eagle's Nest. He hardly ever used it because he said that the thin air affected him. He preferred to stay below at the Berghof.

From the research that we did, it was ok to fly, as long as you follow some basic rules
They built castles on mountain tops hundreds of years ago.
Infantrymen from the 3rd infantry were the first u.s.troops to actually reach the top. Martin bormann,had it built as a birthday present to hitler.
I dont think is evil ,, is just historical depemd how you see it
How they built all these? German engineering

What an honor to experience that place, and yes you are 100% correct, there was an enormous amount of PURE EVIL that was there at one time. Nazis love to hide in places that most don't have access too. Thank you for sharing this! God Bless you and yours! ❤🙏
