Hitler and Nazi Sites in Munich

A look at some of the key sites in Munich, Germany, relating to Adolf Hitler and the early history of the Nazi Party.
This video is historical in nature, and does not communicate a political message. Its host and creator, John W. Sherman, Ph.D., is a professional historian.
One correction (I did not script this one): the Nobel winner who had an apartment in the same building as Ernst Rohm was the recipient of the Prize in Physics, not Peace (Werner Heisenberg, 1932).

Excellent video, going to Munich and Berchtesgaden in 3 weeks and will definitely visit all these historic places and buildings to learn their history.

[@johnwshermanhistorian]

Thanks. Lucky you! Check out the "Dead Nazis in Munich" video too (entitled "Emil Maurice . . . "). If cemeteries don't freak you out, there are some eerie gravesites to visit--especially Carl Gephardt's in the Ostfriedhof.

[@LuisDeBastos]

@@johnwshermanhistorian actually have a couple of cemeteries in my list to visit in Berchtesgaden but none in Munich. Will add those in Munich after watching the video

[@stevedavis3527]

Enjoy. I was in both cities last August and September. Love both cities. Heading back in August but only Munich and Berlin. Nuremberg is also a must see.

[@LuisDeBastos]

@@stevedavis3527 absolutely! Both cities (Berlin and Nuremberg) are on my list and detailed plans for another trip. Love to see how history comes to life when visiting these places and understand why and how things happened.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding video. Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@lizzapaolia959]

That architecture is absolutely stunning. German engineering and craftsmanship is second to none. Thank you for sharing this detailed video. God bless 🙏

[@gracereeves5790]

90% of the original buildings were destroyed by the British, Russian and Americans who defeated the Nazis. For some odd reason, photos of Munichs architecture were taken before the war, and after the war, they tried to duplicate some of the buildings. Majority of the architecture was rebuilt after the war.

[@lizzapaolia959]

Thank you for sharing this information. My husband and I knew that much had foolishly been destroyed. It's a beautiful historical country. Have a great evening 🙏

[@gracereeves5790]

@@lizzapaolia959 Well, the Nazis were killing innocent Jews, and non-nazi political opponents. And, the Nazis were violently invading France, Poland, Norway and other countries, who asked the U.S.A. and U.K. for help against the murderous and encroaching Nazis: Historical Facts.

The Virgin Mary statue was already in the niche when Hitler lived in the Thierschstrasse. Plenty of old photographs to prove this.

[@johnwshermanhistorian]

You are correct about this! But other comments indicate that you mainly troll on YT. Reluctantly, I have decided to remove your other, rather hostile posts. Your own YT channel, too, has no identifiers or content. Thanks for sharing.

That "orange building, as the narrator says, is a church, not just a building.

[@geoffballe8766]

Excellent

Munich seemed more Nazi to me than much of Berlin.walking route of putsch was very spooky

[@mandelbrot2232]

"Hauptstadt der Bewegung"...Munich is not spooky though 😀 its a nice city ☺

Thx man. Goin to Munich from Florida in about 48 hours for Oktoberfest. Wanted to see what history I can see.

[@HaveAniceDay2450]

How was Oktoberfest?

[@MrBoDiggety]

@@HaveAniceDay2450 Absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere was the best. Good food. Great people. Everyone needs to go at least once

[@HaveAniceDay2450]

[@vonsausage6312]

The eagle on the building predates the Nazi era. Looks like a design that was used as far back as the 1870's. Several designs of the Reichsadler can be viewed on the Reichsadler wiki page. The Nazi era design was different to the one in your video.

[@johnwshermanhistorian]

Is this regarding the early party HDQrs, at 6:07?

[@vonsausage6312]

Yes. The reason the eagle has been left in situ will be it was on the building decades before the Nazi Party was created.

[@johnwshermanhistorian]

If it's regarding the early Nazi Party HDQrs, my source on that was the "Reich in Ruins" website, which is quite well-researched. But I am certainly open to your observation (and will keep your comment up). Thanks for sharing!

[@Hamurabi-xk2dw]

Have you ever looked at old plantations in the southern states of the USA and how cruel things were there? Tell me a country on this earth where there was no racism, where there were no “monsters”?

[@terminationshock1356]

This baroque monstrosity of the Theatinerkirche? Are you insane?

[@johnwshermanhistorian]

Yes

one of Hitler´s bars was the "Schelling Salon" which still exists today

Black screen!! Is it only with me 🤔

[@bigger_mibber6029]

I think so. Everything is fine with me.

[@smokeyj3828]

Happens to me occasionally, just need to reopen the video.

[@timothyconroy1175]

Maybe Ernst Rohm was grooming Heisenberg?

[@udeychowdhury2529]

It's uncertain

[@donaldsmalleypublishing401]

I am 61 and still can't completely wrap my head around the fact that these monsters existed in a world so close to modern day. How they got so far along in their evil mission still makes me gasp. Never again.

[@nyaswed1520]

But look how fast bestial antisemites destroyed innocent jews just in October 2023. And look how many misguided, stupid Americans supported it. Surprised?
