[@sixchiensblancs]

I can relate... I was born fourteen years after the war, it was always right there... I heard about it from my French parents my entire life, and now, it is the ancient history of another century... My Granddad served in WWI... So I heard stories about that one too from people who were there... One hundred years ago!!! It makes me wonder who on Earth has the oldest memory of an event from first hand accounts.

[@34523ab]

I visited the Eagle’s Nest in 1947. Most of the buildings were still standing. The view from the Eagle’s Nest, the mountains and the clouds was unbelievable but sad looking at the war damage in France and Germany.

My grandfather was stationed on the Obersalzberg in 1942-44 with the Waffen SS and FLAK division, he was in the smoke unit. But then was send to the Netherlands when Market Garden happened, from that moment until the end of the war a year later was almost in non stop combat. He is still alive, but wont talk much about that period.

[@garethbond7166]

The siren is for the local fire brigade volunteers to go to the fire station. They are in other parts of rural Germany. Great video.

I’ve been there several times while stationed in Germany. On one visit, a Robert Mitchum WW II TV series, “Winds of War” was being filmed. The Eagles Nest was closed to visitors for a couple of days because of the filming. What was remarkable was seeing extras walking about in spot on WW II Germany Military uniforms. It made for a rather eerie visit.

[@ryankc3631]

Fascinating. I just learned more about that area in 21 minutes than all other TV specials, books, movies and other videos combined. Thank you!

[@53N53L355]

Another interesting fact: Near to the Berghof, there is a mountain wich is included in several bavarian and austrian myths and legends - the so called Untersberg. One of them says that Friedrich Barbarossa is sleeping under that mountain and one day he will rise and fight the last battle between good and evil. Hitler also was obsessed by that mountain. He even had a telescope directed to It. Thats why its called "Unternehmen Barbarossa". The SS even used caves in that mountain to bury black stones in there, the so called Osiris stones.

Mr. Felton the accuracy and authenticity of your videos are unrivaled. The care with which you have mated archival footage with your own on-site camera work is remarkable. Especially haunting, as you noted, was the air raid siren, heard as you visited one of the best preserved Mole Bunkers at around 20:15 to 20:35. Thank you for your exceptional work.

[@HTN3]

Without a doubt this is the best "then and now" summary of the Obersalzberg among the countless videos that are available on the Internet. It is especially impressive because it matches historical film with accurate information delivered in a smooth narration.

[@undergroundman6602]

I'm in Munich at the moment and am contemplating making the trip to Berchtesgaden tomorrow.

[@MrHiya11]

The air raid siren you heard is likely a firefighters siren. Many of the small towns and villages in Bavaria and Austria don't have fire stations and are usually only in the larger towns and since they tend to be quite far from the villages they have their own small team of volunteers who are alerted by the air raid siren whenever there is a fire.

[@fuckyshityfuckshit]

Its the same in new zealand. I remember thinking it was odd to be hearing an air raid siren in rural NZ considering Australia wasn't going to open a second front after the emus proved themselves capable soldiers.

[@neon3690]

Interesting. The small town where I grow up here in Australia did the same thing.

[@Klassiker-]

Yes, that is true, here in Nordrheinwestfalen the sirens are tested every Saturday at 12.00 noon. But perhaps this was an emergency in the Video, but very spooky anyway! Yet another great Video by Mark Felton. I was at the Obersalzberg last year and I'm going back at the end of this month (May). This time with my wife so there won't be many Nazi sites to visit this time round. I guess I'll show her the remains of the Berghof and the Mooslahnerkopf. Too bad the Platterhof was demolished, it must have been a impressive place.

Was stationed in Germany 94-96 and MWR would have "retreats" for single soldiers down to the General Walker hotel. Went there 6 times over my tour. At the General Walker is where you could get the bunker tour (the one the documentation does now). The Documentation center was still there but was mostly a shell of a building and parts of the floor were collapsed (I still have 2 blue bath tile I took from the building. Hitler garage was still there and you could go inside thru a little notch in the dirt they used to cover the front up with. The SS barracks vehicle garage was still there but the rest was gone. There was a spot just off the field where you could wiggle down thru to get to the old SS underground shooting range. HG house was of course was gone but part of his swimming pool still existed (I still have a white tile that I dug up from the swimming pool hole). Between the Platerhoff and the SS barracks are spots of concrete that were mounts for communication ant that connected to the bunkers. That safe in the bunker with the hole (made by a bazooka) was not behind a gate when the General Walker operated the bunker tour. You could walk right up too it. There was no door to Hitlers bunker complex from the General Walker bunker complex. They had a fence where you could see all the way in. It was mostly filled with burnt wood and stalagmites and stalactites from the water seep.

[@modernknightone]

I was stationed there at the same time (92-96) and took my family (wife and 3 kids) to the General Walker several times. We always had a blast and my oldest son who was about 8yo at the time, absolutely loved the bunker tour. It was so beautiful there and I'm so glad we took advantage of that when we did. I heard they turned the old hotel back to the German's in 1996 and it was demolished in 2001. I find that such a shame because it was part of the overall complex from the beginning. I think it was built in the 1870s. Why did they destroy it?

[@scottburns5376]

Cool. Thanks for sharing your experience

[@tray-oq1nj]

I was stationed there as well with 3/5 cav 3rd armored division and remember staying the general Walker and general von steuben hotels very well. I heard they tore down so many buildings since then.

The siren, even though its sounds basically the same, is not an for air raids. Its just the alarm signal for the (volunteer) fire departement.

[@zhivelli]

it's true, a German friend of mine told me that it's used mainly in small villages around the country still, quite curious timing

[@Karpaneen]

In my home town here in Finland they use the air raid siren to warn when the local mine is about to use explosives. I don't know why but it's propably set off for "just in case". Couple times in my lifetime some dust and fine sand has come to 2-3 km radius from the mine after the explosion.

[@simonemmert9824]

Can confirm, I am part of a volunteer fire department in bavaria. Also depending on the time the siren went off that could have been just a test run. The sirens are tested every saturday (although that could vary depending on where you're at) around 11am. Edit: not every saturday but the first saturday every month

[@mariokuppers5686]

@keith moore Not really. We use it mainly for volunteer fire fighter duty. Than the Signal is 12 Second Siren Pause 12 Second Siren Pause 12 Sec off. But they can also give out Air Raid Warning / Disaster Alert with on/off over a Minute, when the siren is old enough wich means 30 years + a specialized Chemical Warfare / Chemical Disaster Warning with 6x 3 Times on/off followed by a break and finaly an all clear Signal wich is 1 Minute on. As a tourist when you where lucky hear in best case the fire signal and on monthly Siren Test day what normaly ist the 1. Saturday in a month also the all clear Signal. Air Raid Warning / Disaster Alert only when it´s business at usual 3-4 times in a year at the Big Siren Test what should be this year the around mid June but the exactly date differs from city to city. For cologne for example, what is most likely visited by a tourist it´s June 15. 12:00, September 5. 10:00 and December 7. 12:00 this year

[@burntbybrighteyes]

In Tirol they are tested every Saturday an 12 am and a couple of times a year they test all the different siren signals including air raid warning which sounds slightly different than the usual fire alarm

[@Kendron-cw6ef]

Makes you wonder what else is buried or has been destroyed by the writers of history

[@JulianMarkau]

You probably visited on Saturday and it was 12 noon when the sirens went off - it's their weekly test. It's a common practice in Germany that all public sirens get tested simultaneously once per week on Saturdays, at exactly 12 noon and most German states adhere to this safety practice.

[@SVanHutten]

The way you explained in detail the whole complex and the relationship between its parts is awesome. And on top of this your on-site footage. With this one you outclassed yourself! BTW, I had a few years ago an eerie experience when getting off a train arriving at Munich HBf: A small band (at first, out of sight) was playing some sort of military music all the while I walked down the platform. Knowing the place of that city in WWII history, it suddenly felt like being inside a period film. These strange things do indeed happen.
