- In this exclusive, never before seen documentary, you can see the entire bunker complex of Hitler's Berghof on the Obersalzberg for the first time ever. The historian and author Florian M. Beierl - an Obersalzberg expert - has contributed scientifically to numerous TV documentaries and leads us through the labyrinth of Hitler's underground catacombs. He explains the individual construction phases and caverns of the facility and their former use. By fading in plans, the viewer is guided through the individual bunker sections and thus - gets an extraordinary overview of the then secret facility in Hitler's legendary Alpine fortress.
The BEGAFILM team were the first and last to to document the Berghof Bunker this extensively with camera.
These bunker sections have been buried and filled up forever since 1999.

In 1991, my wife, young son and I stayed in the former home of Albert Speer just down the road from the Berghof for 5 days. Had lunch in the Platterhof (General Walker Hotel). Access to Hitlers bunker by a long staircase. Revisited 3 years ago and stayed in Berchtesgaden. So sad to see the General Walker gone, now a miserable car park. Most historic buildings are no longer there. A visit to the Eagles Nest is worth the visit…
The views have to be some of the best in the world up there
Wow!!! I just heard something about the Berchtesgaden hotel being shut down as well?! I wanted one day to visit and stay there I really hope someone anyone would preserve these places . That had to be amazing to see the place in 91 and get to walk in it
Those with political power have done everything possible to let it get erased
While stationed in Germany in the '70s and '80s, we stayed at the General Walker/Platterhof or Berchtesgadener Hof four or five times and were fascinated by the history. In latter visits, I always brought the Obersalzburg issue of After the Battle, (a then-and-now history magazine to which I still subscribe). We took both the Platterhof and Zum Turken tours of the bunker complex. The former ended in an area still strewn with construction materials left behind, we were told, by Italian laborers. The Zum Turken tour ended with the most intriguing feature, a bricked up passage with one or two bricks missing from the top, allowing just a glimpse into the darkness of the Berghof section beyond. Thanks so much for clearing the darkness away with your incomparable coverage.
The "missing bricks" were still there or should I say not there about 6 years ago. I managed to point my camera through the hole and took a few photos.
We were there the last week (Gen. Walker) it opened, September 1994. We got a tour of the back room where they stored the alpine art, and much of it belonged to Nazi germany, but was confiscated by the US Army. There were stamps in the back of the pictures showing ownership of the reich; it was crossed out and a newer stamp showed it was the property of the us government.
Was at the Walker in 1989, fun times exploring!
I was there too but in 1986
In 2019 the bricks was still missing
I've been looking for footage of this bunker for so long, I honestly thought it was completely sealed off. It's a shame it's been vandalised, just imagine what this would have looked like 80 years ago.
Filled in and sealed sometime in 1999, seems that even twenty + years ago people seemed frightened by the fact this was still accessible.
@@nickybluechips7567 so it's fully filled in now? The thing is, on one hand I can understand it as some very disturbed people would use it as a shrine. But, imagine had they restored it and used it as a sort of museum - the amount of money it would generate would be worth while
It's a concern that people want to seal up history rather than learn from humanities past mistakes.
@@nickybluechips7567 It was not filled... only sealed.
And yet, people are able to video it…amazing…
Not stripped bare like this that's for sure. That stolen bathtub is probably on eBay.
Interesting video. I was stationed in Germany as a JAG lawyer and on the weekends my wife and I would explore for WWI & WWII history. In 2022 my wife, kids and I went back to Germany and toured that same area and we stood at the entrance of these bunkers. I miss Germany a lot! There is so much to see with wonderful people to greet you and the food is awesome
Thx .
I Love the US and the people .
Friendship forerver 🇩🇪🤝🇺🇸
The best English version I’ve seen yet and very informative. Love to see more!
AWESOME VIDEO
For many years ive wanted to see more details of this bunker system.
Sincere gratitude for allowing us the opportunity to see more of what is there.
Thank you.
I know, I feel the same, and so much information.
So interesting.I kinda wish it was still intact with all the rooms full of its furniture. It would make a great museum.
Exactly, better than Disneyland.
Even the door hinges were taken it was stripped of anything that could be lifted
No it will attract the whyte supremacists and aryan brotherhood groups to go worship...
@@Jason.cbr1000rr sadly, I’m sure it does even at it’s current condition.
@@jennifer801 yup told you so 🙂👍
I wish everything remained and was preserved. People would spend serious money for tours if this was the case. As evil as the regime was, it’d still be fascinating. It’s unfortunate many sites were destroyed and looted.
Incredible workmanship
Wish it had been preserved like a museum
I know I can’t believe they destroyed or let some of these historic sites go away .
I get some things like the remains of a Nazi they don’t make a grave that’s marked so people can support them but historic sites like this are amazing history lessons and teaching tools
This is amazing footage. Never expect to see inside the bunker door. Thanks.
The question I've always had about this is one that never seems to get asked or addressed: how much time did Hitler actually spend down there?
My guess is, next to none.
Maybe he did an inspection tour or two, but the Berghof was his vacation home and the area was NOT under Allied attack at any time that he was there, so there would have been no need for him to go down there, right?
By all accounts, 14 July 1944 was the last time he was even at the Berghof.
Not that it's not fascinating, but I'd bet that the people who have explored it have seen more of it than he ever did.
The thing that I find most fascinating is the time, energy and expense that they put forth in planning and building this and other bunkers, which they had to know were just "last ditch defenses" and not "regularly used command centers or fortifications."
History is important, so I think these bunkers should be renovated and restored with the furniture and telephone, machine-guns and pictures, tour guides with stories. People would visit from all over the world and pay to see these bunkers. I certainly would, and whilst there book into local hotel and tour the area.
I think the Berghof should be rebuilt to it's original design as a hotel/ museum, not for any ghoulish purpose but as a testament to architectural excellence. Imagine the wine cellar they would have, always chilled to the perfect temperature.
I really enjoyed seeing this. Thanks for filming and showing it.
You’re a fan of hitler?
@@trailerparksupervisor7046 No, I am a fan of history and I watch many videos of all that was left from World War 11 by Germany, Japan, and Russia. Having been in Korea and visited many of the Pacific Islands I just enjoy seeing videos of all historical events.
@@ronniewidener8701 if you are a follower of history then you will be aware that Mr Hitler is not a man to be admired.
@@trailerparksupervisor7046 Would you show me where I said I admired him? Quit trying to put words into my statements. I just thanked the guy for posting the video and I did find it interesting and I don't care what you think.
@@ronniewidener8701 sir, I didn’t say that you admired him. I just said that he is not a man to be admired. Surely you agree with me.
Such brilliant engineering,very little moisture damage. Top class German skills..
Yeah too bad they couldn't engineer a civil society
Comunque nonostante tutto è in stato di completo abbandono!!😉😉🌟🙏
Built by Slave Labour, not by the Germans themselves.
@@SteveVi0lence the rest of the west weren't a lot better, they just did their crimes with much less media coverage, after all, a lot of them build their nations by genociding aboriginals or red Indians...etc
@@SteveVi0lenceanother 🤡 who doesn’t know history, love reading these comments and laughing at fools like you imagine thinking it wasn’t civil Jesus lord almighty go watch more history and some news.
It always amazes me that in all these years they made no attempts to clean those places and make them available for tourists and research.
Most, not all, do not want anything to do with anything the nazi did. Even today.
@@23draft7 What did they "do"?
The scale of the bunker system and moisture make it hazardous and hard to supervise. There Are also two unseen layers. One above and one below easily accessed and how mg posts were accessed. All quite dangerous incl cardon dioxide issues
In the late '70's I went down the bunkers in the village below. We entered through the small underground Chapel in the chalet we stayed in whilst skiing with the Army. There were a lot of artefacts still there at that time. I was in the Royal Artillery and it was called Exercise Snow Queen. We only had fairly weak Army torches so we were always worried the batteries would die. Wish we had gone further through the tunnels who knows what was there. David.
maybe some hitler babies breeding like rats ?
Yes Us army flash lights were crap in the 1970s as well.
Dim.
Amazing work! Thank you for posting this.
Excellent video, I'd never seen this set of bunkers previously. Well done, thank you...
Thankyou so very much for posting this !!! This is very well put together and the layout map helps very much too . Thankyou for your time in doing this , it is all that is left for many to see and understand . Great piece of video history. Love every minute of it !!!
Incredible that so much of it is still intact.
Fascinating! I get that it’s a dark part of history, and that generation couldn’t care less, but nowadays they should take better care preserving it.
Exactly, one day someone will say that NSDAP did not exist.
I always find myself fascinated with the odd things. Like when Hitler built that bunker I bet he never expected that amount of purple to be entering it.
The Berghof was heavily bombed and largely reduced to rubble at the end of the war. My Uncle was there with the US Army in 1945 and he brought back a large piece of stucco and exterior. He wrote on the back side of it and gave it a description and explanation. He passed away a few years ago. I have it now. A piece of history.
Your uncle was robber
@@satelliteuse7221 Watch your effing mouth. My Uncle got 3 Purple Hearts fighting in that War. And he had the scars to prove it. I'd say he paid his dues.
Cool for you! The bunker is a war relic. Am I the only one who found the tour claustrophobic? My stomach was in my throat the whole time. Glad it finally ended. My curiosity kept me from exiting the video, but I wanted to quit! I'd have to take Valium or something similar to actually tour through it. I never used to be like that.
I have to express my feelings about Nazi Germany and the psycho fuck Hitler and his evil cunt Eva Braun (Note: Her last name is pronounced Brown in German not brawn - Braun literally means brown. I hate mispronunciation. Braun products are always mispronounced. You can hear one of the Germans actually pronounce her name as Brown.)
@@cii1072 Right. He still stole something that did not belong to him. Makes him no different than a common looter.
He stole something from Hitlers House after he went there to kill him. He went there to kill him because a racist wanted to purify the world. He no doubt lost friends in the war that decided human freedom and dignity. That man and men like him won the last just war the world has ever had and you better shut your f*****g mouth when thinking about people you will never live up to. The world owes them everything and those educated in history will never forget exactly what they won for us.
Fantastic!! Thank you for preserving history for us all to see!
It’s really a crime that History like this has been destroyed or buried SMH future generations should be able to tour such places.
@@persistentapparartionkitty5830 but it would have become a shrine to the past.. Attracting neo nazis who are still around. Still, it is too bad it was looted. I suppose one day they could restore it as a museum. I thinknthey did that for Churchills war headquarters.
@@Madmen604 there's always going to be radical nutcases but we can't destroy history just because of them. Personally I would like to walk through Adolfs Bunker but apparently that's not worth preserving. One would think Neo Nazis would love going to Auschwitz to celebrate but that wasn't torn down. Ugly history is still history there are mueseums dedicated to Medieval Torture. It's history and it's best to not forget it so we won't repeat it.
Yes thank you
I enjoyed it immensely
Great movie! Fantastic exploration! Best regards from Brazil!
It’s amazing how well Hitler’s team thought and build these bunkers. You can be down there for long periods without any need to come up. Pretty amazing indeed...
And i guess shows his insecurities, at some point? Late 43'-early44'? Wonder the dates of the builds..he knew it wouldnt last forever
@@justinhealey2408 On point, Hitler and his regime started to act like rodents afraid or predators from the sky.....time to get down under, the end is near.
@@justinhealey2408wouldn’t last for ever? I can’t stand 🤡‘a like you know full well you’re American and scoff on propaganda all day everyday fed loads of lies teamed up with communists.
@@justinhealey2408 This has nothing to do with inscurities.
Every country even today have locations with hidden bunkers, to keep high ranking personel save during war time events
An absolutely fascinating tour. Thank you so much.
How sad that they thrashed the place. There must be detailed filming of every square inch somewhere before people destroyed it. The first soldiers did immortalize themselves by writing their names on the wall because they are long dead BUT the people who thrashed the bunkers are just criminals. Interesting film thank you for posting it.
Sad???????
Wow, pity it was looted after the US camera crew went through and not preserved. Would be an amazing place to have visited. Lucky there is comparison footage. Amazing construction of it's time.
7minute 15 sec. Looking for hidden tunnels. That's real Wolfenstein3d
Great historical documentary which I never knew existed at the Berghoff. Amazing in which direction to dig underground to say the least.
Thank you for uploading this footage. Having been in the bunker from the Documentation Centre & Hotel Zum Turken I found this fascinating. These should be open to the public as well.
It should all be restored to how it was in 1945 I've no idea why it has suffered such damage .Deserves to all be brought back to what it used to be.
@@stephensav2728 as intriguing as it all is, it's best not to restore it. It was after all a murderous regime.
@@nstl440 Ah well been worse regimes in history i would say ! And after all, Hitler did leave us with the Volkeswagon lol
@@stephensav2728 vw with their scandals... not much has changed..
@@stephensav2728 it should never be restored or in any way respected. It is one symbol of a demonic monster.
awesome -- the missing part after 29:19 is now here !!
Great history lesson. I was in Germany in 67 and 68. This was a lot of history. Save it for study.
*Fascinating video. Thanks so much for uploading. What year was this filmed?*
I dont know the exact year anymore but it was in the early 90s.
@@BEGAFILMHISTORYINMOTION *Thank you.*
@@BEGAFILMHISTORYINMOTION ---Can't figure out where you get some of these narrators from. The guy in this video sounds like he is guiding a tour for children through "Alice in Wonderland".
@Bob Dole By the labor of the captured or enslaved ‘enemies’, or as seen in the more ‘professionally’ finished areas, their own builders & craftsmen.
Superb video. Excellent Berghof bunker complex.
In 1987 I along with 4 other Paratroopers had the crazy idea to go on the standard Army tour of the bunkers. We took gear with us and hid in the open part of the bunkers and waited until they locked us in under the General Walker, knowing that we would have to spend the night down there we explored the parts of the bunker that were normally not accessible at the time. I remember going into Hitler's bunker room and finding the sealed up wall and wondering what was behind it. 35 years later I know know what was there.
This is an amazing documentary. I believe this historic places should restore to see the future generations to learn what has happened in the past. This cannot be erased from history. Thank you sir.
There were tours of this in the early 90s. I went on a tour of this in 1992.
My brother-in-law and I entered the bunker from the General Walker Inn (now destroyed by the Germans) in the fall of either 1995 or 1996. Very creepy knowing where you were at the time. We later walked by Hitler's house where there was not much except for concrete foundations and some broken glass. I picked up a piece of glass from the site but have forgotten where I put it. We also toured the Eagles' Nest on a clear beautiful day --- impressive views. The General Walker Inn was amazing, huge sleeping rooms, very thick walls. After realizing that the SS used the place it was hard to get to sleep.
Not that I agree with anything that the nazis stand for , but wow considering the tunnels are 80 + years old , the Germans can sure engineer a project, the walls still seem freshly painted in many areas , minimum damp and so well thought out,
Brilliant documentary really enjoyed 👍
egyptian piramids are older as many other ancient buildings ..... ;)

Fascinating video and tour. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍👍👍. I visited the area twice and always wanted to see more of the bunker systems. 👍
The interview with Herbert Doehring has been taken down by YT after I was 1/2 way through. Could you possibly upload it somewhere else and let us know
Imagine going through all the bunkers while they were connected
Fantastic. New information. Thank you.
100% enjoyed watching this one guys love seeing the difference from the bunkers over here in Scotland
It may be Hitlers bunker, but it's still amazing German engineering. I want one.
Thanks for sharing.
@Koba Will do. Thank you.
I agree, my family left Germany in the 1830’s but my roots are proud of the engineering feats that they have done.
I'd sell you this one. Its unused rn...

Amazing .. thanks for sharing :)
The amount of people that it must of took to build all the bunkers weapons and God knows what else is truly amazing to say the least
This is the best video and translation I've ever watched great job

It predates the slave labor years. Well, some of it, don't know if camp labor was involved later. Can't change the past. History repeats since then, different flags and people but similar.

I have written a historical tourguide over the Obersalzberg- and Berchtesgaden-area and this is a missing piece recovered!
@Bob Dole With explosives and skilled engineers! 👌🏻
I understand the conflicting emotions these ruins cause, but is is still sad it has been so looted and vandalized. My dad was in the Pacific Campaign and my husband uncle was in D Day+2. This is history that needs preservation.
The whole of Germany was looted and her people nearly destroyed in the years after the war.
I wonder looking at all the destructions and looting if our side is not any more righteous; our government is not constitutional as it could be; ashamed this could not have been saved
The looting you see here was done by the Allies.
A savage peace is a good documentary that shows the horrors ethnic Germans faced after the war
You have an excellent speaking voice and your videos are awesome!

Why don't germans preserve it or at least maintain it for coming generations to learn & see . They can & restore it at least for history students.
And today's neo-Nazis would use it as a shrine to their hero. There are more than enough WW2 souvenir landmarks in Germany that these won't be missed.

Freaking awesome video folks 👍 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Awesome vid. But, can you visit it today in person or did they seal it up
This would be so cool lit with lighting throughout
Thanks for the video. I remember an entrance to an underground bunker from the now-gone General Walker Hotel. It had a long stairwell with one of those 3-hole “machine gun” walls. You could go far into the system and I believe it had one of Hitler’s rooms. However, I’m not sure if this is the same system. What are your thoughts?
Love to be in your shoes, walking through history
Imagine this place at the height of war, it would have been a beehive of activity
Why is it burried and closed down forever now? Could they not make somekind of museum out of this complex?
@Rocco Calma be kind pls... the fool part is not needed, I asked a normal question
