Hitler's Favourite Hang-Out - Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse

Everyone thinks that the Eagle's Nest was Hitler's mountain tea house, but in fact he disliked the building and rarely visited. His actual tea house and favourite building was atop a much smaller mountain near his famous house, the Berghof. Here I present a then-and-now look at the Mooslahnerkopf Teahouse, Hitler's favourite hang-out.
Special thanks to BEGAFILM for permission to use their footage of the Mooslahnerkopf Teehaus ruins prior to 2001. I urge all my fans to visit their channel for amazing historical footage of the Berchtesgaden Nazi buildings and bunkers, and much more...

I think we should have a hard look at any building built before 1945 whether it actually needs to be kept. Those aren’t democratic buildings thus are they really worth being kept as they serve nothing but a reminder of dark days?

He always picks out interesting stories, but it has to be said that he very often makes serious mistakes. Unfortunately, he deletes or ignores comments that kindly point this out to him, and basically leaves the mistakes uncorrected. This starts with incorrect photos, incorrect names for photos, incorrect dates, incorrect locations, etc. This is also the case in this video. He claims Hitler visited 'Eagle's Nest' two dozen times. This is not true. The research on this (there is an itinerary) speaks of between 5 and a maximum of 14 visits, not 24 ('two dozen')! He was also not there in 1944, as Felton claims in the video. It is certainly not 'the finest history channel'. There are others who work more accurately and, above all, take information about errors seriously.

Having served in Bavaria and West Berlin, I always thought it was weak to have to tear everything down. I got my chunk of Spandau Prison but didn't want to see it destroyed in the eighties. We were supposed to stop people from getting those chunks, by the way. Maybe I should delete this confession. The biggest crime was when the Germans tore down Sheridan Kaserne in Augsburg 18 years ago. Those were the sturdiest of Bavarian buildings, but also an SS base before the US Army took over for the next 52 years. Google Sheridan Kaserne. Mark could do a fascinating video on it.
