The German General That Dick Winters Found DEAD in Berchtesgaden!!! | History Traveler Episode 395

[@tb3687]

Thank you for not blurring out the swastikas in the pictures. I’m not a nazi sympathizer, but I appreciate history in its true form. If you are going to watch a show about history, be prepared to see all of its parts, the good and the bad. Thank you!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Agreed. Although I do have to blur the stills when I post them on Facebook. Got a 60 day restriction from them that lasted 12 months for posting a picture saying that it was good that Hitler was defeated. But the swastika that was in the photo made me a Nazi sympathizer, I guess.

10:48 JD, Sir, never once have I asked myself this... yer yapping is what makes yer videos unique and what makes me wanna keep coming back to watch em. Keep doing all that you do, not just for the Vets, but in keeping history alive and for teaching tomorrow's Generations about their past.

[@subaruadventures]

He does rabbit on a bit which I don't like but will give his other channel a go.

[@GlasgowCeltic88]

​@@subaruadventures he's not a professional historian and I very much doubt he's had any Public Speaking training... He's just passionate about his topics and as a fellow historian I feel you cannot talk ENOUGH about a topic you're passionate about. Plus, as a Content Creator's subscriber, you're here to support the Creator, not JUST their Content. Ie I'm not a massive fan of the US Civil War era of history.... but I'll still watch it because im here to support @TheHistoryUnderground

[@marylynnmazzocco5367]

I will look forward to the new channel. You take me to places I will never visit. Thank you.

[@ryancooper2826]

Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg are on my bucket list. They are both beautiful and overflowing with history. Thank for letting me live vicariously through you!

[@garethpowell6914]

Unbelievable place Berchtesgarten. We did an amazing few days there on two occasions. The new documentation centre was excellent

[@juliahoff7158]

I lived in Germany for four years. The food is incredible. The Christmas Markets are lovely. I love these videos. I also love the music in the background too.

[@terryl7874]

Germany is such a beautiful country. The rich culture and small village setting is extremely inviting. Thanks for the tour and history lesson!

[@matthewmoore3654]

I love your videos, particularly for 1. The content, 2. The editing, and 3. Your dedication to historical accuracy. As a historian, it can be heartbreaking to watch some "Historical" videos and see the lack of effort put into them regarding accurate content. I love this channel!

[@toddd6563]

Well said

[@apstrad]

You were so close to the most amazing collection of high end 3rd Reich war trophies when you were in the main square, underneath the mural. I had heard about the collection many years ago, was fortunate to meet the owner late at night, at that square. He took me into his shop, then into a backroom that was absolutely full of stuff. He grew up in Berchtesgaden, he told me a story about his father going into one of the railroad tunnels under the city, and finding box cars full of artwork....all liberated by civilians just after the war...He laughed and said that Berchtesgaden had the best collection of art held in private homes..He told many other amazing stories about the town, and what is hidden away...I also have a whole bunch of photos from a relative who was in the 3rd armored...some of him sitting amongst the ruins of the Berghof.....I love your videos

[@mikemontgomery2654]

I’m subscribed to the new channel and look forward to your content. Berchtesgaden is a beautiful little mountain town. Even just going there by train, the area reminded me so much of my home (Southern Alberta and the Rockies, Banff, etc). I guess that’s why we get so many German visitors.

[@JamesWoodring-mu2iz]

thanks JD, glad the channel is doing so well! look forward to the walking tours.

[@sbishop6450]

That was good. ❤ Have watched the new Channel. It’s nice but personally I would appreciate a few captions so I knew where exactly I was going and points of interest. Mind you, I love your voice and watching you walk around and occasionally bump the noggin. I will watch anything you put out there JD 😃🇬🇧❤️

[@paulmellon7598]

Subscribed to the new channel JD, and I get that it will be part of the experience for some who want to feel they are exploring for themselves, but I'd rather have your insights every time. Just my personal ... Great job friend.

[@andrewbutcher6162]

I love Berchtesgaden! When I was stationed in Vicenza, Italy, from 1992-95, I went there many times. The taxidermy shop you showed about the 8-minute mark was a must-see every time we visited. My wife and I called it "All Things Dead." We would take people we were there with each time to point it out. I would have loved to buy some of those mounts, but I was overruled by the wife. Thanks again!

[@cyndiebill6631]

What a beautiful village!! Thank you for sharing it. Places like this really know how to make Christmas special ❤️🎄💚

[@lappin6482]

Great work JD, please never stop yapping we all love it 🤝

[@StevenJeNova]

Thank you, JD!

[@michae8jackson378]

I love Berchtesgaden. But anywhere in Germany during Christmas time is amazing. The food, drink and smells are incredible. I've told you JD that I lived in Germany 13 years. My ex wife is from Trier. My two daughters and two granddaughters live there. I love being there at Weihnachten. Very special. Safe travels

[@millguygarage4875]

I can’t wait to see how this new channel is 🎉

[@markleach116]

JD - Thank you for all of the wonderful and educational videos!!! I just subscribed to the new channel and look forward to seeing what you have planned!!! Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@fredv7487]

Awesome video JD. Been there a few times when we were stationed over there and loved it. Christmas is a fantastic time to be there, you can get a lot of unique Christmas gifts for folks. Thanks and have fun.🍻🍻🍻

[@daviddorward7684]

Thank you. When we lived in Germany as part of the Canadian forces stationed there, my family and myself went to Berchtesgarden frequently, courtesy of the American taxpayer, to stay in the American military hotels, confiscated by the US at the end of WW2. Great memories which kindled my interest in WW2 and WW1 military history.

[@sandramosley2801]

I already look around as you're talking, and you do give us wonderful stop-and-look shots!

[@elibyrd2112]

6:30 I was there about 2 months ago! Such an amazing opportunity to be there and walk among so much history. And as far as what we saw, it was a beautiful town.

[@dankorolyk5917]

Another great trip across the pond!

[@paulwee1924dus]

The Luftwaffe general checked out!

[@mrford70]

Väldigt vackert👍🏻. Ska besöka denna plats innan jag blir för gammal Greatings from Sweden

[@wildcolonialman]

Fabulous effort as always. And fascinating.

[@DMUSA536]

I was in Garmisch mid September 2024 and the Eagles nest was closed due to snow😢. It reopened the day I flew out. I was stationed in Germany 1975-1978 and can you believe I never went there.

[@ElectromagneticUK]

Best wishes for the new channel, looking forward to it.

[@lordlorenzo5835]

Fantastic place, lots to see and do. Had a great 4 days there in September. Can’t wait to go back. 🎉🎉

[@Chris-Nico]

Happy Thanksgiving, JD and your family. I for one enjoy your narration. But nothing wrong with making some changes.

[@Wreckdiver59]

Europe is definitely a good place to be before Christmas 🎄 They go all out in some places. Looking forward to checking out the new channel 👍

[@user-j4200]

Thank you for the history

[@edwardjantyndorf4174]

I have been living here for most of my life, after we moved here from Detroit. Berchtesgaden has a very ancient history, and the Third Reich is only a short episode. A fine place, by all means.

[@helenabiesma5560]

so interesting and keeping the story alight and its history is preserved as it should be - love it and will subscribe

[@toneian]

JD!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my man!!

[@IronLion8851]

It has been almost 20 years since I've been there. I would like to go back someday. It looks like its changed a little due to new construction. I love the Christmas Markets and the food but its dangerous because you can gain weight very fast. Love the content JD.

[@Anonymouse-d3m]

Great video could we get an Agincourt battlefield tour I haven’t really found a good one on KZbin and it’s very interesting.

[@JacobCano-x7u]

JD you are the man. Like everyone else in the comments section we all enjoy hearing your knowledge and fun facts. Thank you for all that you do.

[@Zederok]

I'll be forever grateful for the 30 days I spent in Berchtesgaden in 1991 when my Military Police Commander selected my 3 man team to do an ancillary augmentation commitment in that wonderful Bavarian city. 30 days of partial duty on patrol and plenty of time off for R&R.

[@Canerican.]

It's hard to believe that such a beautiful, majestic place harbored such evil during WWII!

[@Seth.W.]

I’ve never subscribe to a new channel faster, can’t wait for the new content!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks!

[@nickg0411]

Thank you! i already subscribed to the new channel

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@HistoryTravelerWalkingTours]

The alternate version of me appreciates it as well. 👍🏻

[@GhostofSicklesleg]

Loving this content! Thanks JD! One of the reasons I am thankful this Thanksgiving is these historical videos that are entertaining and educational again many thanks and happy Thanksgiving JD and fellow history peeeps

[@ozziecozzie274]

I love your "yappin" JD! Nobody yaps about history like you do! ❤

[@BaggieT]

Keep doing what you are doing JD, been a follower for 4 years and love the videos

[@NDB469]

Great video!!

[@petercummings3208]

I love Berchtesgaden, have been many times. Another great detailed production always with something interesting that is new to me. I've just subscribed to the new channel, so looking forward to watching your content on there too! 👍

[@sscinamon]

Very pretty and interesting place. Really appreciate what you do .

[@bobcalderon2534]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@ikke12345]

I like the way you are doing it, with a lot of information

[@follkiej]

I like that guy's yapping!!

[@terryeustice5399]

JD great video buddy. It was amazing Dick Winters found that General committed suicide. Thanks for sharing! 💯👊👍💕

[@Ronaldl2350]

Happy thanksgiving to you and your family JD!

[@DeepseaSteve]

Was there yesterday beautiful area

[@keithsifford5326]

Like the “then and now”’pics. JD you’re a pretty darn good “yapper”!😊

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Ha! Thanks.

[@ericscottstevens]

The German casualties from my mothers village in the Steigerwald number about 25 100% killed on the Russian front. It shows the ferocity of what went on in the east in the early stages and how many replacements were being sent there.

[@Ro6entX]

Ah that’s cool with this video and the other channel you mentioned, which I had seen but unsure if it was yours or not. But, will be sure to sub. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the family ❤

[@71jolanc]

Subscribed!

[@squatch1464]

Good video.

[@samueldixon6767]

My favourite KZbin channel

[@33rdusa]

In 1971 when the Obersalzberg was controlled by the US government, as a member of the US Army I stayed overnight in Albert Speer's studio located there. It had been turned into a small accommodations lodge. Accommodations at the nearby General Walker hotel were full. I walked around the Berghof area, and its stone parking garage was still there. Gone now. But it did spark my interest in Albert Speer who was living in Heidelberg where I was stationed after his release from Spandau. I looked him up in the phone book (yes, he was listed!) and got invited to his house on Schlosswolfsbrunnenweg to autograph his book Inside the Third Reich. If you or anyone posts their email address, I will send you a fuller account of that encounter and photos of Herr Speer taken in his house and his autograph. It was an event will never forget. Letting a complete stranger into his house. He was a very genial during the few minutes I spent there with him. I'm sure anyone watching these excellent videos know who he was.

[@pajooo123]

I have not watched ur videos in a while but im glad ur cap is still alive and kicking😂. Keep Up the good Work!

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Ha! Still there.

[@russellmania79]

If I may be so bold as to ask what the name is for the additional channel is.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

History Traveler Walking Tours. Got a link to it in the description of this video. Thanks!

[@Chiller11]

No doubt a stuffed bird hunting shotgun toting fox would add to the decor of anyone’s living room. Somehow my wife couldn’t see the potential when I suggested it and showed her your example.

[@RiseFromTheDead]

I have been very curious as to what they are going to do with the Zum Turken Hotel! JD, do you know of any whispers by chance??

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Not sure.

[@DDGVET4]

Isn't it amazing how for Germany and Japan war ended in 1945 and we in America have been at war ever since. I think Germany and Japan came out on top in that deal.

[@camdodge9891]

Hi JD great video thanks and JD are you still in Germany at the moment then and keep up the good work JD

[@PathfinderHistoryTravel]

A new channel? It is Christmas!

[@theflaver]

were those soldiers by the fountain or early years police or nazis?

[@TonySaunders]

Thanks

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Wow! Thank you!

[@jjlynchee961]

Someone threw away a perfectly good german general

[@Russell9241]

Any chance you could do a tour of the SA prison in Berlin where 30 prisoners were killed there, and in WW1 there was barracks for German troops near there so they could get to the western front on trains quickly, maybe look it up online.

[@TonySaunders]

Another great educational video. I visited Berchtesgaden in June for my 50th birthday after watching your other videos about the area and it’s WW2 history and I’m very thankful for the information you share which really helped me when researching locations and stories from the past. I’ve now booked a trip to visit Arras to visit the graves of 2 of my great great uncles who were killed during WW1 and once again it was one of your videos that inspired me to finally getting around to paying my respects to the fallen. Love your work and have obviously subbed to your walking tours channel. Keep up the good work.

[@jamesshirley5875]

I rather enjoy your yapping myself!

[@angloaust1575]

He must have seen.many dead Bodies during his ww2 experience!

[@katamb55]

I need the explanations since I'm a novice in history ❤

[@vsmicer]

Pronounced 'Berk-tess-gar-ten', my friend.

[@TheHistoryUnderground]

Then they should have spelled it differently. 😅

[@TheCosmicGuy0111]

Oooo
