      I´m glad you retracted from the bakery allegation. This bakery on Zweibrückenstrasse exists just for a few yars. Your footage must be quite new because the construction on Ludwigsbrücke is still going on and will probably last up until 2024. The Viscardigasse, to avoid to salute at Feldherrnhalle, was called "Drückebergergasse".

    I was an Army Military Policeman in Mainz Germany 1982-85. The amount of history throughout Germany is astounding. Mainz is right on the Rhine and is the location of Patton's Third Army being the first to cross the Rhine into the heart of Germany in March of 1945.

      Indeed yes, I'm English but lived in Koln for 2 years working in the Fordwerke (incidentally fed Germany trucks through the war and was never bombed!) and since Germans never work weekends I used to take our hire car all over the country and found them to be the most welcoming and friendly people ever.

      I was with the 6th MP Co. at NATO Site 111, Muenster/Dieburg, ‘84-‘86. We were neighbors. The site was a munitions factory and storage site (bunkers) during the war but we were using the bunkers to store warheads. It was said that Patton missed the site when they went through that area because it so well concealed. The Germans had tied the tree tops together to cover and hide the roads from aerial observation.

      A lot of people do not know this but at the end of the European war, many US service men were given a 30 day pass and sent home on leave in preparation for the planned invasion of Japan. If a US Serviceman had so many points, they could chose to get out of the military, and many did. Those that couldn't, newer solders coming into theater had to of course continue to serve. However, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended the war and I think 90% of all US servicemen left the military within 3 - 6 months of Japan surrendering. I live in Kansas City and here we have a major railroad hub at Union Station very close to downtown Kansas City, Mo. I've talked to several older people over the years and was told that as kids and teens that they very vividly remembering the constant sound of trains blowing their horns coming in and out of Union Station all day and night. One person told me it was strange to them when the horns stopped afther the war ended. I've been told that 90% of all US servicemen who eventually deployed overseas came through Union Station here in Kansas City during WW2.

I had seen that plaque many times about Elser, but you helped me get a better understanding of what took place. I have walked that same route many times before I knew that I was walking on historical grounds. You're an excellent teacher of history and I appreciate the time you spend bringing history to life so that we can understand it.

    I definitely need to go back to Germany and see everything again. I am a WWII fanatic. It is by far the most favorite historic event for me to study and learn about. I lived in Germany for about 4-5 years in my early teens and have been all over Munich and have seen those buildings and bridges and had no clue what I was looking at historically. The only thing I can clearly remember that was WWII related was Dachau and stuff in museums. I never got the opportunity to do the battlefields and other hot spots I wanted to go to. But it is shocking as an adult to see how much history I’ve seen and just had no clue where I was. Thanks for this. I love your WWII videos and it’s nice to see Germany again lol.

As he so accurately points out, keeping this history alive in no way supports, condones or memorializes the evil that was Hitler and those who followed him, but at the same time, we have to remember, those folks gained support and momentum, came absolutely to full power and committed atrocities almost beyond imagination….for a reason, or reasons. Real or imagined, right or wrong, agree or disagree, millions upon millions…followed that movement right into the fiery pits of hell with Satan. As important as the sites, is trying to understanding what caused nearly an entire country…to rally behind it…until their own deaths. These things don’t start in vacuums. They are real people in real lives in real places…just like us sitting here watching it. Very sad.

    I’m looking forward to your video on Dachau! I visited in 2019, and trying to explain to people the range of emotions I was feeling and how impactful it was to be there is so hard to put in words.
    Thank you for all that you do! I’ve learned so much from your videos and I appreciate all the work you put into this! ❤

    Great to see this!! I hadn't thought of just WHERE these events happened, nor did I know of the assassination attempts, or that the NAZIs would make this an annual march. So -- this is a perfect example of how we can learn more by watching your videos.

    I know a lot about München putsch, funeral and commemorations to putschist at Feldherrnhalle on Odeon Platz and later builded Ehrentempels on Königsplatz, Blutfahne, but I didn't know for that 1939 bombing, always learning something new. Glad you menaged to come to Germany, bet it was interesting to you to be all of that historical places.

    I have read about most of the assassination attempts on Hitler. It was great to see video of several of these. Hitler liked to change the times and routes of his plans for safety. He felt more emboldened and divine with every attempt he survived. He really was very lucky to survive, as there were many plots against him. Great video showing the locations and the march. The one memorial is called the immortals or something like that.

    Thank you so much for doing this! With this year (2023) being the 100th anniversary of the "Beer Hall Putsch", I was wondering what kind of "acknowledgment" was going to be done about it. Nice to know the actual "beer hall" is gone (as the neo-Nazis would have used it as a "rallying point"), and that an appropriate memorial is there for one of Hitler's many attempted assassins! Another excellently done video!

    Great video and thank you so much for doing it. I found the path of the march interesting. Conquering factions throughout history have always chosen their public marching displays carefully. Such as crossing bridges or going through the ancient, medieval entry way (the Nazis did this when they took over Paris), taking a route in front of prominent buildings that represent power and control. The psychological message is very loud and should stand as a reminder of what to look for in groups that look to dominate and/or control a society (in my humble opinion). Actions are very deliberate.

    This expat says, "Well done!" I could correct a few of your pronunciations, but hey ... you did your homework and that counts for a LOT! I totally agree about Munich (& Berlin, btw!!) being cities that offer massive opportunities to learn about the horrors of the 3rd Reich and WWII. Having lived abroad for nearly 40 years now and with family members who served in WWII who saw & helped investigate the death camps, I have to say that I wish the U.S. worked even half as hard to educate our populace with a clear eye about our own history & the atrocities that the U.S. has sadly commited and instigated throughout history. I never cease to be amazed and humbled at the number of documentaries that Germany and Austria have honestly produced about their own crimes against humanity over the years, and the vast number of museums and former concentration camps dedicated to showing the awful truth of Nazism and that era. Which is as it should be, and FAR more people need to open their eyes to what happened in the 1920s-40s (2023 = one century since some of the historic dates you mention in your video and there are far too many on both sides of the Atlantic who actually look up to those despicable criminals and killers..... So more power to you. Looking forward to the next one (GLAD you're including a trip to Dachau -- so important.)

    When I moved to Germany, Munich was the first big trip we took and we ended up at the Odeonsplaz while trying to find the palace (right next door). While my kids were climbing over the lions and taking pictures. I looked up the history of that square. I was shocked to realize where we were standing, and I took a moment to spit on the spot Hitler was standing in on the picture. Just a crazy history there!

    You are in my 'backyard' now. I'm an expat who moved here in '95 (for love, not the weather). As usual, your tours and commentary added something I hadn't before (even in my native state of Missouri.) I hope you have a chance to taste more of the culinary delights here (not just the apple pastries-which, true, are delicious) and if you imbibe, also the truly other-worldly beers brewed in and around Munich.

    The reason I'm interested in the history of WWII is because my father's father and my mother's father both fought for the US Army from 1942 through 1945. They were also among those who liberated areas and the concentration camps. My eldest brother was stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, from 1985 to 1989. My niece was born in Hamburg, Germany at the University Hospital in July 1989, She was 2 months early. My y brother, his wife and only daughter, moved back to the States after getting my niece her birth certificate, Vias and Passport, that November. He retired from active duty with the US Army in 1999. He got to visit all the places both of our grandfathers fought plus visited a good many of the concentration camps while he was on military tour in Germany. The concentration camps were the toughest for him to handle because, in his words, "you can still feel the sad energy of those who were imprisoned and died in those places."
