Hitler's Berghof Bunker - Exploring An Off-Limits World

Special thanks to BEGAFILM for permission to use clips from their production 'Hitler's Bunker on the Obersalzberg - The Berghof Bunker', and for providing restored footage of the 101st Airborne Division at Obersalzberg. I urge all my fans to visit their channel for amazing historical footage of the Berchtesgaden Nazi buildings and bunkers, and much more...youtube.com/@BEGAFILMHISTORYINMOTION

9:31 As a former British Telecom engineer I can tell you the floor in the battery room is tiled for a specific reason; To protect the floor from the open cell batteries full of acid. Every telephone exchange in the UK, over a certain age, has one room with the same flooring for the same reason, though open cells are no longer in use and the rooms themselves are either vacant now or repurposed.

I appreciate that you reached out and got permission to use some of the footage in the video. A lot of people just take it and use it with no acknowledgement to the creator.

Love this. Not only is it a tour to places you can no longer visit, but also a comparison between what was in there then and now. Fantastic video!

The sound effect of Hitler speaking to the operator was enough to make me snort into my meal on the flight I'm on

Me and four friends went there about a month ago. Our guide told us about the tunnelsystem which cant be visited due to instability. If you ever go there, I recommend the Airbnb guide Claudio who does an incredible tour around the berghof and the bunker. Great video as usual!

Dr. Felton, I can not thank you enough for teaching us your in-depth wealth of knowledge.

I can't belive how clean and drry it is after 80 years. Shows the quality of the original build, and the effort invested in keeping the Fuhrer safe.

Really good. Putting all those old movies together and explaining what we are seeing is the next best thing to being there.

5800 views in first 32minutes...dr felton class maintained his student attendances at 180-190 viewers per minutes in last 3 video...very high rated historian professor in my opinion🎉..ty again for sharing ur valuable knowledge,dr felton

I remember in the early 90s when my father was stationed in Germany, we stayed at the General Walker hotel and toured the tunnels beneath the complex. I remember going fairly deep into the mountain, that stood out at me. When we got further into the tunnel, there was this wreath of flowers on a stand in the middle of an empty room in the bunker. I don’t know or remember if this was Hitler’s room specifically, but the American tour guide told us that the wreath was placed there for Hitler’s birthday, just two days prior. They explained every year a wreath appears for his birthday but nobody knew how it got there or who placed it down in the bunkers. I remember also up in the hotel lobby, some of the lobby furniture was original and guests could sit in the same spacious chair that Hitler once sat in, as there was a photo in the lobby of Hitler sitting in that exact same chair. Anyone remember these things from the General Walker Hotel days?

I have been to the bunkers opposite the "Dokumentation Obersalzberg" in January of 2017, when it was still more open than today. It was really eerie and at the same time fascinating. It certainly conveyed the atmosphere of the infamous "Alpenfestung" myth.

Oh yeah! BEGAFILM are truly awesome with their material! I really recommend everybody to watch their videos about the subject and all the other videos they have. Just fascinating stuff!! As is this! Thank you again Dr Felton!

My hope is that the new owner of the Turken will once again open the system for all to visit. After all, History belongs to all of us. Thankx Mark for the awesome share. ❤💯

Really enjoyed being able to see glimpses of the bunker fitted out - the panelling and art etc. Always see them as the bare brick/concrete states they are in today. Thank you for sharing

I traveled lots of times along the bunker but never visited. I‘m excited to see it in a video from you. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

A number of years ago my wife and I stayed at the Hotel zum Turken. The tunnels under the hotel led, if I remember correctly, to a sauna, swimming pool, and a number of other places. We suspected that they were a part of the bunker system but Dr. Felton has cleared that up for us. Thanks! Another fine bit of history being explained!

Thank you, Mark! As I grow old(er), there aren't many things in life that creep me out anymore. But... walking around in the same footsteps of Hitler would give me the chills.

I like that Dr. Felton covers the locations that I've always been curious about. Beings that I live in the States, I've the same chance of going to the moon as being able to see them 1st hand. Thanks for the countless hours you have to have spent on research alone. Well done. Cheers from the States.

Another amazing episode! Thank you Dr. Felton and to those who contributed the film footage!
