Stop 1
the Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden, Germany, is a historic site with a dark past. Here's a brief history of the Eagle's Nest:
-Construction: Built in 1939, the Eagle's Nest was a mountaintop chalet and the former southern headquarters of the Nazi party. It was a gift from Hitler's inner circle for his 50th birthday
-Design: The building was designed by Martin Bormann, and it was built with precision stonework evoking fascist obedience
Hitler's Visits: Hitler seldom visited the Eagle's Nest, as he was afraid of heights. He visited only 14 times
-Symbol of Power: The Eagle's Nest was a symbol of power for the Nazi regime, and decisions were made there
-Survival: The Eagle's Nest was one of the few undamaged monuments of the Nazi era, as Allied bombing at the end of World War II did not damage the building
