Interesting timing. If Freeper's do not mind, I will use this to pose a question:

I am planning a trip to Austria in September and will be in Salzburg, which is 25 miles from Berchtesgaden. I am considering going to the 'Eagles Nest'. Has any Freeper been there?

Wife is opposed to going to "Hitler's place". Comments appreciated.

The Kehlsteinhaus has been a private restaurant for decades.

Hitler went to the `Eagle’s Nest’ so seldom that the Allies decided it would not become a Nazi shrine, unlike Berghof & teahouse, and it was spared. I’ve been there, the view is awesome.

Anything else has been obliterated, even the Berghof foundations are gone.

I'd go, if only to visit the site of one of the coolest photographs in history (shown here with a masterful colorizing job).

Damn - I think Hitler had my parents' patio furniture.

Sorry about the image size - I just can't bring myself to constrict it.
