    You guys have one of the best history channels on UA-cam. I have been a history fanatic since elementary school. The music, artifacts, pictures and dialogue are outstanding. I lived at Hahn AFB, near Frankfurt, from ‘68-‘73. We were blessed to get to travel extensively while we were there. It always seemed that the German people were not willing to talk much about WW2. They all knew of the atrocities and just wanted to let it just go away. They barely even spoke of it in their schools. I guess I can understand that. I’m about to become a subscriber. Thank you for the job y’all do.

    I used that train station a few times and never had an idea about the remnants. I met a Band of Brothers tour group at the elevator to the Eagles Nest & had a great chat. At a hairpin bend on the drive up is a statue of Our Lady (don't blink) dedicated to those who went over the edge and 'officially', 10 people died in the construction of the road. it is an amazing experience & close to Munich and Salzburg.

      Inside the railway station, there are murals depicting rural life, all sanitised but otherwise as they were 'then'.
      I had a cup of coffee in the station cafe, the girl who served me was fairly tall and slender, blonde with blue eyes. The coffee was good but it all seemed a bit too surreal for me. If you have no idea of the history, the town and surrounding countryside is stunningly beautiful, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that it had a very dark history.

      I just remembered! Years back I was in the woods target shooting with a .36 cal "cap n' ball" revolver. The target was stapled to an old abandoned wooden cabinet.
      After reloading I was checking the target and wondered if anything was in the cabinet. I opened the door and there was a BIG Black Widow spider! No mistaking it, the red hourglass marking was the brightest, purest shade of red I've ever seen.
      So I shot it! When the black powder smoke cleared it was "gone with the wind!" Good riddance!

    I lived in a small village called Ramsau for 20 years until recently which is 9km away from Berchtesgaden.
    I have to say it is the most beautiful place I have ever lived and the local Berchtesgadeners are wonderful people but sensitive to their history and how it is presented although it attracts high numbers of tourists for historical reasons, winter sports, wellness and so on.
    The Bahnhof is also the main bus station and to this day is a prominent part of the town for many people. On my drive to work I would often stop at the station’s cafe in the mornings to pick up coffee and croissants.
    Thank you for filling in some interesting historical facts that for me were missing.
    I know for a fact that when the allies bombed the Eagle’s Nest and hitler’s residence, the children at the time were told that it was a special fireworks display. (There had been an agreement amongst most of the parents to do this).
    My former partner’s father watched the ‘display’ from Ramsau which had a direct and clear view, and told me many stories of how American servicemen befriended them giving them chocolate and cigarettes.

      I must inquire if You have ever visited Colditz Castle near Leipzig, Dresden and Chemnitz?
      Colditz is a Renaissance castle located in Germany’s Saxony state. During WWII the castle was converted and used as a high security prisoner-of-war camp for officers who were particularly dangerous or were regarded as escape risks. The German’s believed the castle’s location on a rocky outcrop above the River Mulde made it an excellent spot for a high security prison, however Colditz POW camp had one of the highest records of successful escape attempts during WWII.

    Just an absolute awesome video... again. The tunnel and cave systems in Berchtesgaden would get Batman envious. There´s footage in YT if one searches, about some that they sort of "rediscover" and walk about. Areas that where closed off for ages. Most are of course closed off to the public today but they are still there. Interesting stuff.
    Fun fact! The maker of that naziflag "Fahnenrichter" in Cologne is still in business! Although their assortment of flags has changed "somewhat"...
    One can imagine back in the day at Berchtesgaden, when everybody was a big Hitler fan with great emphasis and then the war ended and suddenly nobody was a nazi. Today I guess, there is some conflicted feelings about some the most horrible stuff in history associated to their country.
    An interesting topic that as well. Keep up the good work guy´s!!!!

Unlike many of the G.I.'s that came through the area, we were well received as we performed rescues no matter who or where the problem was. I lived in a rented house three turns downhill from the ski area, just under Hitler's Eagles Nest. On the hillsides there were many "caves" that contained nazi artifacts that were known by locals. They would bring out things to trade/sell in the early days. I still have my "trophy" from when I was there

    Excellent, informative series. My dad took a photo of the big retractable window when he went thru the place at the end of WW2. There was a large table in front of the window that he said had "thousands of GI's names carved into it". Did that ever show up in your explorations?
