Should have never been destroyed... but the germans are not as smart as they used to be so they destroyed it, they make a lot of poor decisions today!

It is wrong to remove these monuments because they represent a large part of the history of Germany. I am not talking about political trends or what happened in that era, but there is a history that must be preserved. The amazing and modern construction style that is now simulating our time is very beautiful.

People with no history are no people....just slaves, and that is what we have become, all according to plan. Patton was right.

Never ceases to amaze me how Mother Nature can take over when given the opportunity, no matter the human interference. It has only been 75 years.

In 2017 while traveling to the Adriatic coast, my wife and I , booked for a night, a better room at the hotel "Zum Turken" in Berghof. The hotel breathes the 30s and 40s (furniture, décor, no TV, no internet, no WI-FI). The scenery is breathtaking. Of course, we visited the ruins (the basements) of the "Hitler's house", 100 meters from the Hotel and covered by the undergrowth. The atmosphere is "heavy" . Fortunately, the owner of the hotel is a charming, dynamic woman. She told us the story of this hotel and her family (we were the only guests). It's really worthy of a movie. She showed us the photos of the world dignitaries who stayed in her establishment (heads of state, generals, astronauts). If you want to face history, this is the place.

While stationed in Nuremburg 1986-1989, I visited the Obersalzberg on many occasions. I stayed in what was known at the time the General Walker Hotel. The remains of the Berghof garage were still there but filled in. I still have "souvenir" pieces of tile from The Berghof, The Goring House, The Bormann House and the tea house. Eagles Nest was pretty awesome as well. Would like to go back one day and see it all again..

You did a great job of bringing the Berghof from the ashes. Looks like it was a beautiful place to escape to.

Nicely done educational video. This site should have not been destroyed. It should have been preserved for later research and study.

The Berghof's shell survived until 1952 when the Bavarian government demolished it with explosives on 30 April. The Berghof, the houses of Göring and Bormann, the SS barracks, the Kampfhäusl and the teahouse were all destroyed. This had been part of an agreement under which the Americans handed the area back to the Bavarian authorities. There was fear that the ruins would become a neo-Nazi shrine and tourist attraction.

Excellent job. Fascinating part of history and expertly presented in the “now and then” format. Well done documentary.

The door to the bunker wasn't so much "sealed", as it was buried under several feet of rubble. If you look at photos of the retaining wall before the bombing, you'll see that it appears to be much taller than it is today. That's due to the rubble having been graded over the foundation of the house, including the bunker door. The Bavarian government wanted the Obersalzberg to be returned to its pre-Nazi era appearance so as not to encourage neo-Nazis making pilgrimages to the area. There were several families, in the area, who were forced off their land by Martin Borman in his quest to please Hitler, as the Obersalzberg was turned into a Nazi military installation. This never sat well with the majority of Bavarians. Also, the history of the Hotel zum Turken is very interesting. The family that owned it was forced out, and the hotel was turned into an SS barracks. After the war, the family reclaimed ownership and the hotel was restored and reopened.

Great video, the Berghof site is close to the top of my bucket list of places to explore.

I have been watching these before/ after videos in awe... It is so confusing that we alternate between preserving the history or markers of a place and at other times want to destroy any evidence of history. There are so many buildings and locations that are thousands of years old in the world, and new generations have an opportunity to learn from the relics. I guess our modern society just wants to erase anything that offends them today. On the other hand, I have been watching the videos about past/ present Berlin and Nuremberg, and am amazed how modern people may have NO IDEA of the history of the places they pass every day. Thank you for these historical videos, which I hope will survive us all in the future....!!!!

I visited the site of the Berghof in 2019 and found it to be a sombre place, yet discovered an unexpected sense of peace, in its evil history and yet ultimate ruin! Whilst there, around the trees, I saw a number of candles which I later discovered to be yahrzeit candles. In retrospect I found this profoundly moving.

It is a rather surreal thing to stand at this spot on the Obersalzburg and reflect on what was, as shown here. For me personally, two of my former homes have suffered this same fate having completely disappeared , and it’s weird to stand on the land where each was and remember what happened there too. Whilst I understand the raw politics of the time in the closing days of this conflict, with the building having been severely bombed and later, after the capitulation and occupation, the directive to raze the structure, that act itself has robbed us of not only a powerful historical edifice, but also a substantial tool to teach about the evils of what happened there. Like it or not, Third Reich tourism is quite strong in Central Europe, and Bavaria has robbed itself of a massive money-spinner, as distasteful as that history may be. That building, like the Wannsee villa in Berlin for example, should have been retained primarily to document the times and the crimes of National Socialist Germany and as a warning from history.

The sound is amazing.

Klasse Musik.sehenswerte Aufnahmen.interessanter Beitrag.

What a pity that the Berghof was demolished! I think that doing this was a mistake. I can understand the reasoning behind doing this at the time when it was done. Austria thought they could erase the past by totally demolishing anything associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party. They really wanted to distance themselves as much as possible from it. I'm sure that they would have loved to demolish the Eagles nest also! Just look at the amount of people that visit the Eagles nest every year! If the Berghof had still been standing I'm sure it would have attracted just as many, perhaps even more! Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it! No saying could be more true.
