Obersalzberg – From the Alpine Village to the Führer's Off-limits Area: Eyewitness Reports

Jan 31, 2022 | Obersalzberg had been Adolf Hitler's vacation domicile since 1923. During the National Socialist era, the mountain ridge above Berchtesgaden became the second seat of government of the Nazi regime. With historical footage and interviews with contemporary witnesses, the film documents the expulsion of the local population and the transformation of the old village into the "Führersperrgebiet" (Führer's Restricted Area) with large buildings such as Hitler's Berghof and the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle’s Nest). Former neighbors tell how Hitler lived in the Wachenfeld house in the 1920s and wrote "Mein Kampf." While they had to sell their houses after 1933, Hitler enjoyed life on Obersalzberg with Eva Braun, received state guests such as Benito Mussolini and led the Second World War from here. It was not until April 1945 that the "Führersperrgebiet" was partially destroyed in an air raid.

The exhibition film by journalist and book author Ulrich Chaussy was shown in the Dokumentation Obersalzberg from 1999 to 2021. The film was slightly edited for the online version.

Kamala Harris Denounces Trump as ‘Fascist’ Who Wants ‘Unchecked Power’

THE GUARDIAN: VP gives surprise speech after reports that Trump’s former chief of staff said ex-president repeatedly praised Hitler

Kamala Harris has denounced Donald Trump as a “fascist” who wants “unchecked power” and a military personally loyal to himself after allegations emerged about the former president’s repeatedly-voiced admiration for Hitler.

On Wednesday, the vice-president gave a surprise speech from her Washington DC residence, doing so in the aftermath of reports that John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, recalled how Trump lamented not having generals who swore loyalty to him in the same manner as military commanders served Hitler in Nazi Germany.

“Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and his actions. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses would no longer be there and no longer be there to rein him in,” Harris said.

Der Zweite Weltkrieg in Zahlen: Wie ein fingierter Angriff den Zweiten Weltkrieg auslöste | DOKU

Jun 22, 2024 | HITLERS AUFSTIEG: Wie ein fingierter Angriff den Zweiten Weltkrieg auslöste | Der Zweite Weltkrieg in Zahlen Teil 1

Am 31. August 1939 wird in Oberschlesien ein 43-jähriger Mann namens Franz Honiok verhaftet, betäubt und in eine polnische Uniform gesteckt. Unweit des Senders Gleiwitz wird er ermordet, um einen polnischen Rebellenangriff vorzutäuschen. Diese Inszenierung diente den Nationalsozialisten als Vorwand, um den Zweiten Weltkrieg zu beginnen, der die Schrecken des Ersten Weltkriegs weit übertreffen würde. Der Weltkrieg, der als der erste globale Krieg der Geschichte gilt, führte zu Kämpfen auf jedem Kontinent. Mindestens 50 Millionen Menschen, sowohl Soldaten als auch Zivilisten, kamen ums Leben. Die genauen Opferzahlen werden wir nie erfahren, denn die Zeit des Krieges war geprägt von totalem Chaos und unzureichender Dokumentation. Trotz der erschreckenden Statistiken und Schätzungen helfen diese Zahlen, das Ausmaß und die Einflüsse des Konflikts zu verstehen. Besonders die Zahlen verdeutlichen, warum Hitler so besessen war, die Ölfelder im Kaukasus zu erobern und warum die Amerikaner die Atombombe einsetzten. Während der letzten Monate des Ersten Weltkriegs hätte niemand gedacht, dass die Welt innerhalb kurzer Zeit vor einem noch größeren Konflikt stehen würde. Doch die Spannungen wuchsen schnell, getrieben von der Vorstellung, neue Imperien zu schaffen. In Deutschland führte dies zu einem Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus, der schließlich zum Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs führte.
