Hey Simple History, please do a whole video on Martin Bormann?. Since most people don't know him, even though he's one of the most notorious and most powerful members of Hitler's inner circle and is famously called "The Brown Eminence", and is even feared and hated by all of Hitler's inner circle Fun fact about Bormann and the Bergoff: Martin Bormann actually moved to an area above the Bergoff in order to oversee and look who was meeting Hitler or not, and Bormann used his construction of the Bergoff to increase his power and usurp his boss, Rudolf Hess. When Hess flew to Scotland in a desperate attempt to make peace with the British, Hitler abolished the office of Deputy Fuhrer and replaced it with Head of the Reich Chancellory with Bormann as leader and its all due to Bormann's construction of the Bergoff.

You're both incorrect. It was the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division that first made it into Berchtesgaten. The 7th entered the town at 1600 hrs on May 4, followed by the French 2nd Armored Division at 2000 hrs, then the 101st arrived the following morning between 0900-1000 hrs. We know that the 7th were the first ones into the town because the 3rd ID's CO ordered a blockade on the only vehicle-accessible bridge into town so his men could claim the prize. And btw, the 7th Inf Reg made off with several trucks worth of Goering's liquor before the 101st rediscovered it.

about the thumbnail: when you drink something from a boot shaped glas you want the toes to look downwards (to the ground). Otherwise the air would enter the toe area and backlash a wave off the filling in your face. Always funny to watch someone drink it for the first time

He walked behind some tree branches so was completely out of focus but I had a good idea of where he was standing as I had moved to watch him from another angle before moving back. I'd now been watching his pattern for a bit. I readied myself, and calculated the angles. I took my shoot, hoping for the best as I couldn't see him....
