Wanted this to come out far sooner, and with far more production value, but have just been too busy with Real Engineering stuff. You can follow the travels in real time here: instagram.com/brianjamesmcmanus/ Have a pretty exciting month coming up, as I have been invited to the Battle of Britain airshow to make a video.

Who are you‽ How did I subscribe to this channel? Oh yeah, I remember

“I can’t figure out technology” *Has a KZfaq channel where he explains complicated engineering methods and does lots of calculations* Sounds legit!

Brian:I cant figure out technology, Gets the most beautiful drone shot I've ever seen in my life

The takeaway of this might be that Hitler is, at the end of the day, a person just like the rest of us. And that horror we like to believe exists only in inhuman monsters, really lives in us.

What a shame the house was destroyed. It should have been preserved as a museum.

It may take humanity longer to heal from the reverberations of WW2 than for nature to heal the scars of the land. So green. So beautiful. So peaceful.

You are a huge influence to me Brian. I've been thinking a lot about creation and putting time and effort into great work and your RealEngineering channel has really shown me that these things pay off with success. Thanks for the videos!

Awesome work on this video. I am excited to see more of this channel. I hope you can take your realengineering perspective to your travels

if i ruled a country with land that beautiful then id probably live somewhere like that too

So glad you shared this. I will be visiting this sight next Tuesday and can’t wait to visit this infamous place. A place of history no matter what people think of Hitler.

Such a good video , great speaker and always enjoyable to watch/listen to regardless of the topic! #Eire

Fantastic video. Very glad you made it! No single person should every be able to ruin any place.

Now that’s a good produced vlog of high quality! Seems like a beautiful place to me!

We're planning what will likely be our first and only trip to Europe and have these ruins on our to-see list. I echo your feelings of being there, or at least what I thought I would feel when we finally get there. Thank you for the video and insight!

You should look at Rare Earth. They do this kind of video and they do it really well.

Well done video. Well done story of how YOU feel. Well done narration! Thank you for this Brian.

He sure picked a cool place to live, so he made at least one good decision!

If we don't continue living and take back places where bad things happened, we'd be constrained to very few locations. We learn from history, not cower and let it define what and where we can be.

How did the cars that drove up the driveway turn around or was there a narrow road next to the garage that led to the main road behind Berghof? In various clips one can see cars drive up and in other clips they're facing down towards the road. The drivers either had to reverse, turn around and then reverse back up on the driveway or continue past the garage as I mentioned. In no clip or picture however, can one see a road anywhere near the garage.

Beautiful bird songs at the backdrop!

Hey man can you most more on this channel. I love your philosophy about everything. It’s simple but it makes me think, which is always a good thing, even if it’s about bad things. Also I am buying one of your new notebooks :)

I loved your video and love the natural scenery. It's so beautiful. Just one thing that buildings shouldn't be punished for what bad happened there. I understand now why Hitler was so much impressed with Bormann. The architecture was beautiful and should be admired not because it was Hitler's home but it was a magnificent architect. People confuses art with war and that's the tragedy. Talking about evil well I'm not judging anyone but attacking communist Russia and colonial rule of British during that era(actually British and France attacked Germany for invading Poland) was not evil but whatever happened apart from that was bad. Like Hitler said "if you take back something from a thief which is yours doesn't make you a thief". It's just that many countries with greatest military have nuclear weapon to scare each other today else the world would have been no much difference than that era.

Visited in Oct. 2018 an area of stunning beauty. Nice video too, the Hotel Zum Turken has tunnels beneath you can walk around freely for a small fee,used as excape routes for the high ranking Nazi's living in the area.The Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus site is a 30 minute walk away where AH used to visit most afternoons and has a stunning view over the valley and mountains ...thanks for this Brian.

This is actually pretty strong message you put on this video.

What were those tree arches?

Your voice is very beautiful and relaxing That's what makes boring science seem very good

You walked among the mountains and ghosts of men who changed our modern world, in many ways. Wotan awakening Wotan.

I love this! please make more vlog like this

Hello Brian, what methodology do you follow to do your research for your real engineering channel? How do you accelerate your learning on several topics ?

Wow... such a beautiful tranquil place.

Wow it is a beautiful place!

Where is this place exactly?

Beautiful video man. I love what you said as well. subscribed :D

I love how you were the only person there

"Appreciate the freedom that he tried to take away". Captivating line.

the man may be evil but he had style if only he kept painting and got accepted into art college he could live there in peace and paint a beautiful picture of this beautiful place

Amazing Video man!

Actually i think the music fits very well, it helps to get in the mood of thinking how the place is being reborn after years of terror

If all documentary makers were this beautiful and handsome, Id start watching more of them!

Every man possesses the capability to do bad, or, even heinous things. That is why I believe we are given a conscience. No doubt, Hitler is a prime example of this. Others humans have committed atrocities that were not accepted by social norms as well. Your VLOG is a good example of how Mother Earth will heal herself long after we (humans) are long gone. The scenery is beautiful.

Hey Brian. I couldn't find any way to contact you, so I guess I'll just post here. I'm a student filmmaker and I was wondering if I could arrange to meet you and make a short documentary about you and your channel. Thanks.

I hope you'll upload more videos in this channel

True words nice💖

brian... top marks for not trying, I forgot the rest because I'm terrible with lyrics but Brianstorm - Arctic Monkeys

Hello sir i m from india i i m huge fan of yours. Your videos is inspired me about engineering. And may be one day i am able to meet you.

The environment looks very similar to the environment where I live in Western North Carolina

This is my first video of yours I have seen on your channel. Please don't be discouraged to show us this kind of content. I may be speaking for myself and if so, please excuse my selfishness. In my case, I live in America and if I wanted to see this it would probably cost around 2 to 3 thousand US dollars to travel there with airfare, lodging and food. So if it wasn't for people like you making such videos many people, (worldwide) like me wouldn't get to see such places. I think it's important for people to see this. It's History and it was once said that; "Those that fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it." Also as you said, it is an absolutely stunning area with breathtaking views. We can't let one man destroy that forever, because then he wins and the Millions of soldiers of the Allied and Russian forces that fought and died fighting Hitler and his reign of terror would be for nothing. Thankyou for this. I for one appreciate this video and giving people who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford a trip there in person to see it as it is now. Bravo 👏.

Wish they didn't blow it up would have been a cool hotel and history now

Cool video.

Great video. I totally understand your feelings and agree. Don't feel quilty, its totally normal to question it. Your absolutely right in saying don't let one man ruin it. Its history and history has always tout us to never forget

So was this the only place you visited in Germany or have you been to other places?

Thanks for not going jake Paul on us.

I think you've done this video correctly.

Is this lad irish doing a fake American accent or American doing a fake Irish accent?

i didn't know germany had such huge forests like this i went to Berlin and Munich and didn't see a single tree lol

Why did they destroy this after the war

I cried

I cant believe Hitler had to pay all the bills and mortgage 😄😄😄

do more vlogs

almost 2 years

1:45 it’s so weird that if you google “berghof view” and look at the real pictures took by someone close to hitler standing before the large window you can see the same outlines of the mountains as in 1:45. Even the shape of the lower grasslands is exactly the same after all those years. Hitler would have looked at the exact same view everyday. Standing there right now on those ruins and looking at those mountains must feel really special. So many memories were made there by hitler and his friends, it’s almost sad.

That can bee anywhere

Fegelein!

rebuild the bergof!

Had no idea who this was until he started talking lol

Hey ❤

While the video and sombre music is very scenic, I don't have 6 minutes of time laying around while leaving multiple notifications of Twitter and Reddit just a scroll away.

He was enjoying this lovely area while he sent german troops to battle...what an evil man he was..

I'm pretty sure it's full of ticks with borrelia...

Is this channel dead?

any reference to hitler is still acknowledgement whether you realise that or not. any labels or opinions you bestow upon him could be considered political or propaganda also...because any matter is subjective and therefore invokes debate and other opinions which is something best not provoked. it would be better to focus your attention to the geography as you see it and experience it and evaluate it as that. leave the hocus pocus out of it would be my advice....it just gives it more attention than it needs.

I like it so much that you

Artillery only vid when?

These Skyrim mods are getting out of hand...

Do a video about artillery only pls

Its amusing in the secular atheist modern society we no longer have many superstitions or belief in the supernatural...yet invoke Hitler and the Nazis and suddenly you get hushed 'fear of God' trepidation. Hitler as the ultimate evil is a stupid view of history, Churchill Stalin and Roosevelt were his equal Assuming you're the guy behind Real Engineering? well done, that channel is truly exceptional.

My buddy 🎉 😢(444

"One man can't ruin a place like this".... meh, give me a 100 megaton bomb and I think I can wreck it pretty good.

Tried too give freedom, not take it.

Future generations will see Mar-a-Lago's ruins the same way we see these ruins today

So why can't this mindset fly in merica? Seriously well said and wish people would understand the logic and be less selfish or lack of emotional control about US history.

Lenard Segnitz Everybody can physically distroy anything. To create is infinitely more difficult. For most of people even impossible.for lack of gift. With a sizeable amount of explosive you can physically distroy St.Paul in London (UK). However if your brains would allow you just to play with such an idea, you'd be the worst beast in the world. Would you be really sane wanting to drag down the Inkas pyramids just because on top of them some centuries ago human sacrifices were performed there? Who would agree to distroy the Kremlin with regard to all that happened in its huge halls? American Indians could have unkind thoughts towards the US Americans. Nevertheless they never outed such ferocious thoughts. By the way, never even think to distroy something if you are not sure to be able to replace it with something worthwhile. If you don't feel able to do it, then... shut up, you waste of space!

Wow this guy looks soo handsome

When watching this video I get a very strange feeling, because it's very nice there, but there are these ruins of a very dark time. It feels especially strange, because I'm German and very concerned about these right-wing movements here, in the US and all over the world. The history should never repeat and we all have to learn lessons from it. *Value and enjoy our freedom.*

would have been much better without all the bs propaganda.
