You can follow the travels in real time here: instagram.com/brianjamesmcmanus/ Have a pretty exciting month coming up, as I have been invited to the Battle of Britain airshow to make a video.
Brian, I am a WW2 Historian, US Army veteran, was stationed in Bavaria 1970-72. I have information for you that I think you will find useful. How can I contact you?
The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for chilling the remains of what is left after all these year's. No one can destroy history but we can learn from it and move forward. Your video is the only one that I have found that does show The remains of what is left it gives me a better understanding.
The takeaway of this might be that Hitler is, at the end of the day, a person just like the rest of us. And that horror we like to believe exists only in inhuman monsters, really lives in us.
@@sebastianelytron8450 I think it's even more meaningful that way. All of us as humans have the potential to become either the worst evil or the best of good, and it's our choices that ultimately shapes us all. Hitler's choices led him to become a sad man filled with so much hate and contempt, and how anyone has the potential to become someone like him again will never go away.

One of my biggest inspirations. Have never met Evan, but view him as a friend. His ability to craft stories that quickly while on location is not easy.
WW2 resulted in the end of Europeans and western civilisation. By the end of the 21st Europeans (no not the paper ones, the actual ethnic European people’s) will be minorities in each European nation state. It’s the most catastrophic event of human history
You are a huge influence to me Brian. I've been thinking a lot about creation and putting time and effort into great work and your RealEngineering channel has really shown me that these things pay off with success. Thanks for the videos!
So glad you shared this. I will be visiting this sight next Tuesday and can’t wait to visit this infamous place. A place of history no matter what people think of Hitler.
If we don't continue living and take back places where bad things happened, we'd be constrained to very few locations. We learn from history, not cower and let it define what and where we can be.
@@sebastianelytron8450 That's true. But even if we did the same thing with recent events, I think most people would be surprised at the numbers of locations.
@@MSpencer1998 Seriously though, I know what you mean but come on. The school where a shooting took place killing 10 people is not comparable to the home of a man singlehandedly responsible for over 40 million deaths and unimaginable destruction.
@@sebastianelytron8450 it absolutely is. It's just land. I get, and encourage, taking a moment to reflect, but letting the only thought of this place be, "An evil man lived here," is beyond stupid.
@@MSpencer1998 "Evil man" doesn't even begin to cut it. If it were an "evil man" I agree it would be ridiculous. This man was beyond evil. Unspeakable atrocities were committed in his name. Heck, a shrine to worship the devil would be less offensive.
How did the cars that drove up the driveway turn around or was there a narrow road next to the garage that led to the main road behind Berghof? In various clips one can see cars drive up and in other clips they're facing down towards the road. The drivers either had to reverse, turn around and then reverse back up on the driveway or continue past the garage as I mentioned. In no clip or picture however, can one see a road anywhere near the garage.
1:45 it’s so weird that if you google “berghof view” and look at the real pictures took by someone close to hitler standing before the large window you can see the same outlines of the mountains as in 1:45. Even the shape of the lower grasslands is exactly the same after all those years. Hitler would have looked at the exact same view everyday. Standing there right now on those ruins and looking at those mountains must feel really special. So many memories were made there by hitler and his friends, it’s almost sad.
Hello Brian, what methodology do you follow to do your research for your real engineering channel? How do you accelerate your learning on several topics ?
I loved your video and love the natural scenery. It's so beautiful. Just one thing that buildings shouldn't be punished for what bad happened there. I understand now why Hitler was so much impressed with Bormann. The architecture was beautiful and should be admired not because it was Hitler's home but it was a magnificent architect. People confuses art with war and that's the tragedy. Talking about evil well I'm not judging anyone but attacking communist Russia and colonial rule of British during that era(actually British and France attacked Germany for invading Poland) was not evil but whatever happened apart from that was bad. Like Hitler said "if you take back something from a thief which is yours doesn't make you a thief". It's just that many countries with greatest military have nuclear weapon to scare each other today else the world would have been no much difference than that era.
We're planning what will likely be our first and only trip to Europe and have these ruins on our to-see list. I echo your feelings of being there, or at least what I thought I would feel when we finally get there. Thank you for the video and insight!
the man may be evil but he had style if only he kept painting and got accepted into art college he could live there in peace and paint a beautiful picture of this beautiful place
@@thedearleadersdoctor5814 I mean yeah but think of it if he went to art school he wouldn’t blame the Jews for taking his place he probably wouldn’t have joined the war and nazi Germany would probably never exist
terror ? i know hitler was a evil and sadistic but it was a mountain retreat not a concentration camp only things of terror that went on up there was someone spilling some tea
@@shutup2751 BUT he did plan a lot of actions from this (what you call) mountain retreat. As mentioned in the video, he spent at least 1/3 of his time there.
Every man possesses the capability to do bad, or, even heinous things. That is why I believe we are given a conscience. No doubt, Hitler is a prime example of this. Others humans have committed atrocities that were not accepted by social norms as well. Your VLOG is a good example of how Mother Earth will heal herself long after we (humans) are long gone. The scenery is beautiful.
Visited in Oct. 2018 an area of stunning beauty. Nice video too, the Hotel Zum Turken has tunnels beneath you can walk around freely for a small fee,used as excape routes for the high ranking Nazi's living in the area.The Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus site is a 30 minute walk away where AH used to visit most afternoons and has a stunning view over the valley and mountains ...thanks for this Brian.
What most people do not realize is Hitler was a pawn in the game the Elites played back then and continue to play today. It's a script and the USA is next on that list. The Bible lays out exactly what is to come. Open your eyes and seek your creator for answers
Hey man can you most more on this channel. I love your philosophy about everything. It’s simple but it makes me think, which is always a good thing, even if it’s about bad things. Also I am buying one of your new notebooks :)
Its amusing in the secular atheist modern society we no longer have many superstitions or belief in the supernatural...yet invoke Hitler and the Nazis and suddenly you get hushed 'fear of God' trepidation. Hitler as the ultimate evil is a stupid view of history, Churchill Stalin and Roosevelt were his equal Assuming you're the guy behind Real Engineering? well done, that channel is truly exceptional.
Hey Brian. I couldn't find any way to contact you, so I guess I'll just post here. I'm a student filmmaker and I was wondering if I could arrange to meet you and make a short documentary about you and your channel. Thanks.
This is my first video of yours I have seen on your channel. Please don't be discouraged to show us this kind of content. I may be speaking for myself and if so, please excuse my selfishness. In my case, I live in America and if I wanted to see this it would probably cost around 2 to 3 thousand US dollars to travel there with airfare, lodging and food. So if it wasn't for people like you making such videos many people, (worldwide) like me wouldn't get to see such places. I think it's important for people to see this. It's History and it was once said that; "Those that fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it." Also as you said, it is an absolutely stunning area with breathtaking views. We can't let one man destroy that forever, because then he wins and the Millions of soldiers of the Allied and Russian forces that fought and died fighting Hitler and his reign of terror would be for nothing. Thankyou for this. I for one appreciate this video and giving people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford a trip there in person to see it as it is now. Bravo 👏.
any reference to hitler is still acknowledgement whether you realise that or not. any labels or opinions you bestow upon him could be considered political or propaganda also...because any matter is subjective and therefore invokes debate and other opinions which is something best not provoked. it would be better to focus your attention to the geography as you see it and experience it and evaluate it as that. leave the hocus pocus out of it would be my advice....it just gives it more attention than it needs.
Great video. I totally understand your feelings and agree. Don't feel quilty, its totally normal to question it. Your absolutely right in saying don't let one man ruin it. Its history and history has always tout us to never forget
While the video and sombre music is very scenic, I don't have 6 minutes of time laying around while leaving multiple notifications of Twitter and Reddit just a scroll away.
When watching this video I get a very strange feeling, because it's very nice there, but there are these ruins of a very dark time. It feels especially strange, because I'm German and very concerned about these right-wing movements here, in the US and all over the world. The history should never repeat and we all have to learn lessons from it. *Value and enjoy our freedom.*
So why can't this mindset fly in merica? Seriously well said and wish people would understand the logic and be less selfish or lack of emotional control about US history.
Lenard Segnitz Everybody can physically distroy anything. To create is infinitely more difficult. For most of people even impossible.for lack of gift. With a sizeable amount of explosive you can physically distroy St.Paul in London (UK). However if your brains would allow you just to play with such an idea, you'd be the worst beast in the world. Would you be really sane wanting to drag down the Inkas pyramids just because on top of them some centuries ago human sacrifices were performed there? Who would agree to distroy the Kremlin with regard to all that happened in its huge halls? American Indians could have unkind thoughts towards the US Americans. Nevertheless they never outed such ferocious thoughts. By the way, never even think to distroy something if you are not sure to be able to replace it with something worthwhile. If you don't feel able to do it, then... shut up, you waste of space!

Hey Brian, can you make a video about the viability of electric ships on your main channel? I really liked the one on airplanes 2 years ago.
The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much for chilling the remains of what is left after all these year's. No one can destroy history but we can learn from it and move forward. Your video is the only one that I have found that does show The remains of what is left it gives me a better understanding.
Who are you‽ How did I subscribe to this channel?
Oh yeah, I remember
@Liu Leo Seems like u didn't get the joke😂
“I can’t figure out technology” *Has a UA-cam channel where he explains complicated engineering methods and does lots of calculations* Sounds legit!
His biofuels video is a sloppy crock of shit. When he tells you he's an idiot, believe him.
The takeaway of this might be that Hitler is, at the end of the day, a person just like the rest of us. And that horror we like to believe exists only in inhuman monsters, really lives in us.
Nicely worded, but how do you mean?
By that reasoning surely the good in the rest of humanity also lived in him?

It's called sin
What a shame the house was destroyed. It should have been preserved as a museum.
I agree!!! some day I'll check this place out!!
No! Just NO! It would have become a shrine for neo nazis and a symbol that the nazi flame is still alive and standing like this building.

Gets the most beautiful drone shot I've ever seen in my life
You should look at Rare Earth. They do this kind of video and they do it really well.
One of my biggest inspirations. Have never met Evan, but view him as a friend. His ability to craft stories that quickly while on location is not easy.
It may take humanity longer to heal from the reverberations of WW2 than for nature to heal the scars of the land.
So green. So beautiful. So peaceful.

Hello Brian, what methodology do you follow to do your research for your real engineering channel? How do you accelerate your learning on several topics ?
There is no methodology. Just pick up a book and read it.
Such a good video , great speaker and always enjoyable to watch/listen to regardless of the topic! #Eire
Where is this place exactly?
What were those tree arches?

You walked among the mountains and ghosts of men who changed our modern world, in many ways. Wotan awakening Wotan.
So was this the only place you visited in Germany or have you been to other places?
lmao
copyright striking people when you haven't uploaded for 6 years is genuinely crazy
Your voice is very beautiful and relaxing
That's what makes boring science seem very good
Actually i think the music fits very well, it helps to get in the mood of thinking how the place is being reborn after years of terror

do more vlogs
Is this channel dead?
i think so
"One man can't ruin a place like this".... meh, give me a 100 megaton bomb and I think I can wreck it pretty good.
Life will find a way. Nature is doing pretty well in Bikini Atoll. And those 100 nukes won't be by one man :P
