WW2 Photo WWII Hitlers Retreat Berghof Berchtesgaden Austria May 4 1945 / 8018

Description

Smoke from Hitlers Retreat
Berchtesgaden, Austria
This is a nice
reproduction of an original WWII photograph showing Adolf Hitlers Berghof, (residence or retreat) near Berchtesgaden, Austria, after the arrival of the US 3rd Infantry Division on May 4, 1945.  The site had been heavily bombed by the British prior to this, and the SS had set the building on fire earlier that day, in this photo you can see smoke still coming from the structure.   This is not the infamous "Eagles Nest" which is located much higher up in the mountains above Berchtesgaden, and which is still there.  Hitler only visited the "Eagles Nest" one time as far as is known.   Hitler visited and entertained at the Berghof regularly, and in fact used the site as one of his several Headquarters.  The site was demolished by the Bavarian government in several stages after the war.  Size of photo is about 5" x 5".
