Hitler's Alpine Retreat

by James Wilson

The book is well researched with excellent photos (many new) to accompany the text. Being a fan of the era, I couldn't put this book down and wished it was one volume of a series (hoping for more). There are many treats in this book. 1) New never before seen photos 2) Excellent research 3) Past & Present comparison photos 4) Analysis of other high ranking officials 5) Rare AH photos and event details

[Hamish Davidson]

This book gives a visual guided tour through Obersalzberg region, Hitler's alpine home known as ‘The Berghof,’ and the political centre of Munich. It also gives some good background on those in Hitler's inner circle and their families. The immense vision of the Nazis is visible in the buildings they constructed and the locations they chose to build them. The book is filled with many propaganda postcards and you can clearly see how the Nazis wanted the world to perceive them. But as they say, the brighter the picture, the darker the negative…

Quirky little book

Ok, I'm a nerd. Officially. Because this is a book about postcards from the Obersaltzberg area that Hitler favored. It's a very niche read, but I thought it was really fascinating. If you're interested in this kind of info, it's a good read.

Insightful

I found this book very informative and a source of further research on the subject of the Nazi period, especially the history on the area.

Deep understanding of the Obersalzberg - Berghof area. Especially houses where Hitler lived.


Book full of pictures. Constructions, surrounding and faith of every building.

Recommended.
