The Hitler Walk at Berchtesgaden by Klovekorn the Relic Hunter

Рет қаралды 78,898

Күн бұрын

Likely the most famous walk of history, the Adolf Hitler Walk at Berchtesgaden just outside of his Berghof House was instrumental in the decision making process for the Fuehrer of Europe in WW2. He took many dignitaries such as former King of the UK, as well as Himmler and Speer along, not to mention his dog 'Blondi'. At the time of uploading this film, no record, film or documentary exists to showcase this critical walk and Klovekorn the Relic Hunter now takes you in the footsteps of the dictator whose decisions on this walk through the Alps had horrifying consequences for the world.

This route is not the one walked by Hitler. His original path is now part of the golf course and on private land and there are no remains of it. The only part of this walk that follows the original is a short section at the very end.

@@1JRVenom This was pure nonsense, to even then in 2014 still wanting to demolish a historic site. It's also totally contradictive. Because the entire area of Bergdegaden is one big goldmine, due to the fact that hundereds of thousands of tourist come to this place to visist all remaining buildings like the eaglesnest. So the bavarian gouvernement makes lots of money on the toursists who visits this place all year long If it was really for "destroying evil", why then did they not destroy ther entire area?

Having just returned from Berchtesgaden and trying to squeeze everything into a full day, my 17 year old son and I parked behind the Golf Club and walked across the golf course in search of the look-out without knowing exactly where to locate it. Thanks to your video, I now know that when we got the top back portion of the golf green, we hopped the barbed wire fence and rather than turning left and getting there in literally 2-3 minutes, we mistakenly went right and ended up finding a one-man concrete bomb shelter/guard post and then we lost daylight. I am so frustrated that we were literally SO CLOSE and yet... so far. Looks like I will be back again to cover this area more extensively. Thank you for sharing this video, for history buffs like myself, these provide invaluable information.

Thank you for amazing video. It's been long time since I've seen notification from you on YT. I agree it's very interesting that war criminals statues still stand across west and east, but tiny tea house had to be completely eradicated. Lucky they weren't able to complete even that and foundation stand. Great old German craftsmanship :) Allied rabid destruction hysteria is very disgusting to me, lenght they went to destroy everything possible shows you how paranoid they were. As they say in my heimat, hat is burning on thief's head ;) I'm Oberschlesier, 75% of German descent, my grandfather fought whole war but survived. I'm sure you are aware what happened with Schlesien, at end of war and after, so I'll leave it at that.

There is so much history that still needs to be told and re-told, such as the allied shootings of French civillians during their 'liberation', the vast destruction of towns in the Ukraine when Russian troops retreated in 1939 etc.... its becoming more difficult as most social media sites actively restrict content that gives other sides of history.

@geoffwalden2766 2 ай бұрын

Yes, Hitler followed more than one path. The point is, Hitler did NOT use the path shown in this video. Beyond the Spahn Haus, there was no path going down the hill then, except a path through the woods that the guards followed to stay out of Hitler’s sight (Hitler didn’t like to see guards while on his walks). Same with the path through the woods later on. This was nothing but a simple walking path used by the guards - not by Hitler. Hitler’s group was out in the open, not following this path, except at the very end approaching the Teehaus.

Some constructive corrections if I may: 0:45 "Every morning"? He was notorious for sleeping until lunchtime (and beyond!). Also he did the walk most days but not all. 3:05 "The Watzmann" - do you mean the Untersberg? 12:06 "100 years ago"? In 1924? Hitler was in jail! Also the teehaus wasn't built until 1937. 12:24 Hitler didn't always take Blondi with him. There are plenty of photographs of the walk without the dog. 12:43 Blondi died on the 29th of April. 13:40 The Doku Center no longer believes that the Kehlsteinhaus was a birthday gift. 14:25 I don't believe the cars travelled on this route - they approached and departed the teehaus from a different direction. 17:25 Eva was a long way off from being his wife when she was here. Hitler left the Berghof for the last time on 14 July 1944 and he married Eva on 29 April 1945. 17:33 It wasn't the grandeur of the Kehlsteinhaus that he didn't like (it's not that grand actually - the view is though!). He was afraid of heights and of getting trapped in the elevator (which is why it has a rather unique escape system). 18:38 There are no fewer than 42 known attempts on his life but "over 50" cannot be verified. 26:12 It's documented that Hitler did often fall asleep in the teehaus but I've never seen or heard any evidence that the photo shown is him just briefly closing his eyes. I hope that helps.

9:30 .... Hitler mumbles under breath... Goering.... ; P just kidding! Great video: I'm loving the new camera equipment or adjusted settings you have made to the equipment; the picture is absolutely beautiful. The 2024 series seems as though it will be full of action and excitement based on the preview video you have released. Otherwise, I can appreciate the fact that Hitler devoted this time to complete some of his most critical thinking; despite as you mention in the prologue some of the destruction the ''results'' of these walks caused in their wake, speaking of the action of walking and thinking I have been of the opinion since I was a young man that I do some of my best thinking while I am walking... alone would be the difference for me as opposed to in the company of others as Hitler often was as you mention.... the silence and absence of the ability to commit to anything structured beyond inner thought is where I find it to be most appealing and constructive as an exercise both physically and mentally. I'm going to finish the video now. Can't wait to see and hear what you have in store for the calendar year of twenty twenty four!
