101ST AIRBORNE DIVISION - First inspection of Adolf Hitlers bunker on the Obersalzberg -RAW Material
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 08. 2020
- After surrendering without a fight, the District Administrator of Berchtesgaden, Theodor Jacob handed over the Berchtesgadener Land to the US- Troops. There order was to occupy the Obersalzberg and to arrest any remaining Nazi leaders.
US reporters filmed the event, documenting the last great conquest of the US army to liberate Europe.
BEGAFILM employees rediscovered this historically valuable footage in the US- National Archives at the end of the 1980s and made it available to the public in numerous documentations.
The following film footage documents how the occupying forces found Adolf Hitler's private bunker deep below the Berghof in 1945.
This is unedited film material, so-called RAW material, as shot by the US reporters.

I was imagining Mark Felton to narrate :)
Mark Felton would not use "there" for "their."
He has done enough on the Obersalzberg, but can there ever be enough?
Like what, for example...?
@@Tommy-xs4zq Agreed. The quality of his productions has fallen and is often no longer credible. Sad ending to what started out very good.
I expected Hitler to narrate
Nothing like hearing the Navy song as the background music for a story on the Army.
You gotta school these guys sometimes. Let em know to fix the dumb mistakes.
smartarse
In the beginning at least thats the Hymn of The Marine Corps.
Lmao & the Marine anthem I'm used to the fact people are creating and posting here with limited knowledge.
They was navy , its just black & white film 🙄
Decision to destroy was short sighted. Glad Eagles Nest can be visited. History is what it is. Preserve it for the ages.
I actually did visit the Eagles Nest . I'm 63 now and guessing I was about 11 to early teens?🤔 It's one of those I was really to Young to appreciate what I was looking at moments. It wasn't until I got older and saw some documentarie like this that I recognized some of it .
There was a fear, as I’m sure you know, that if it had remained standing it would have become a shrine to neo-Nazi types. And it would have.
Imagine the German government repeatedly having to defend their decision not to destroy the Berghof to the family of victims who would rightfully be upset to see people come to Hitler’s home to celebrate his life and work. Simply impossible.
Negative they bombed, wherever there was a chance Hitler could be there
UNFORTUNATELY NOT IN AMERICA...
A shame the Berghof was bombed and later totally torn down. It was a very historical building that could have been restored for the sake of History.
There was really no need to bomb it because the bombing took place just prior to the final cessation of hostilities. Since it was bombed by the Brits it may have been a little payback from old Winnie.
a shame germany was bombed and totally destroyed when the war was already over
Agreed
@@woodstocknun as long as Germany kept fighting then the war would continue.. . Allied soldiers were still dying.
Unconditional surrender then the guns would fall silent.
People just don't get it,smh.The Nazi's,just like the Confederate's during the Civil War, caused a lot of people grief and suffering in the pursuit of their quest for a "lifestyle" that didn't recognize the humanity and freedom of all people.The German people themselves chose not to remember the Nazi empire for at least 30 years after the war ended.If people want to remember certain things in the historical record,then tell it like it really was.Nazi philosophy supported genocide of Jewish people all over the world.Confederate philosophy supported the perpetual enslavement of Black people in the U.S.There was nothing glorious or good to remember about Confederates or Nazis...
I’d be interested to know, the chap in the film enters the bunker through emergency exit number 2 (behind and down from the Berghof garage) and leaves via emergency exit number 1 (below and left of the front of the Berghof). I’ve never seen any other footage of emergency exit number 1. I wonder if the doorway is still there beneath the Hintereck road and just overgrown.
It is still there, I saw it a few days ago, I thought it was part of the drainage system because it's so far down but after seeing this footage I realise it's another exit
This isn't the first inspection because the camera is already in the room filming him
Imagine all of the collectibles pilfered by the big brass. All in private collections. By the time this film was shot they’d already picked over the bones clean
Well if u look as the senators are walking out at the end all of them are holding books or folders and one even has a vinyl record that's poking out the top so yea they definitely looted!
So yea they were all still picking, but honestly I would have done the same thing for historical posterity
@@keithfernandez1600 I agree
The German people looted it as well. I've seen videos a while back of civilians walking away with furnishings too.
@@keithfernandez1600 they got their "taste" as they say
I was wondering if anyone else saw the empty-handed VIPs enter and exiting with books and papers. Military and civilian alike. Have to have a souvenir of their visit to the Bunker.
@ 12:50 The Capt. carrying the General's loot...lol
I think it was a painting cut from the frame. In fact I'm 100% sure. I'm an oil painter and the droop on the large white item is so typical of a oil canvas.
Not anymore they are dead from old age.
Saw that myself, a war prize is one thing, that was just looting plain and simple.
@@georgedistel1203 That's what the war was pretty much all about,daylight robbery on global scale
Just subscribed to your channel and it is great!!!! Keep em coming my dream would be to do this!!
I think the phone became a souvenir...I wonder where Eva's phone is now?
And her underwear?😂😂😂👍🇮🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺
It's almost certainly been thrown away by extended family who were unaware because the old git never told a sole and kept it hidden in the loft.
I’m guessing at about 8 mins the camera needed to be reloaded and in the meantime someone took the phone and someone else thought they’d finish off that bottle borrowing hitlers bed for a bit
I seen it also. When the video blipped as the guy was coming back out of the bathroom.😂😂😂
Which one found Eva's panties?😂😂😂👍🇮🇪🇷🇺🇷🇺
I always liked General Bradley. He was cautious but effective. Loved by his men.
@Homegrown jones what!
Senators did a lot of pilfering for themselves. Likely none of those items they carried out ended up in the U.S. national archives.
Okay, maybe they did pilfer items that weren't nailed down, but they also did not kill several million Jews and others that the nazis didn't consider worthy.
Spoils of War they did things like that back then
@@dogbitr5833 Still do. Except JB leaves our military & allies behind along with millions of military equipment to the T enemy now in 2021.
@@SWExplore nobody is saying they were anywhere close to being Nazis but it is still pretty pathetic that they were just taking things.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Why is the Navy band playing for this? It even says 101st Airborne in the title.
😄
He walked into the toilet and when he came out the phone was on the floor and the bottle was on the side drawers. wooooooo - at the end the 'Senetors' - pinch what you like - don't forget to hide it under your coat.
I noticed that as well
Reminds me of Sandy Berger stealing documents from the national archives
I'd like to know what happened to all those recording's of Hitler's speeches that were in that one room ?
I’m sure most of the stuff that wasn’t damaged was archived or in someone’s private collection.
It's amazing that political figures are looting Hitler's house just like they are looting us today, they didn't earn it the soldiers did.
@@tomasparkington4400 I was going to say the same thing. Sheepish looks as they carry away their "spoils of war" LOL
WOW!!! Great video!!!
⚓Great Hymn! 🎺🥁 for this historical footage, Congrats!⭐ from a new subscriber. Alles Beste!
Very very rare video 👍🏻 good nice view fuhrerbunker🤟🏼
Amazing Footage
🤝👍😎
That is good coverage and that music is not bad at all, it doesnt distract or annoy
I'm detecting a slight hint of sarcasm in this comment? Lol
These rah-rah songs aren't exactly what you'd call subtle, are they.
Some weeks later Mark Clark brought the high officers of the Brazilian expeditionary force to visit the place. They left their signatures on the bunker walls.
Can you imagine how the 101st ABN has to clear the tunnel system of enemy soldiers who might have been hiding. Those machine gun nests mow them down quickly. Very interesting video, too bad none of the original stuff is available to see today
What happened to all the documents and material left behind in the bunker, is it being stored somewhere?
Come on. Navy music? The music in general was such a distraction. Narration without a robot voice would’ve been great.
Remarkable film,thanks
I haven't seen this piece of film before. Fascinating.......
My father and his father both had a trumpet. Each time I hear it I get sentimental and remember they marched at the celebration of the end of the war
Stunning
I have been seeing pictures of this from friends for 60 years. Odds are Hitler never went down there.
Fun fact: Hitler was claustrophic.
Anyone notice the mystery guy taking the tour isn't wearing any rank? Hmmm..
Officers in a combat zone never wear rank insignia they are primary targets of snipers,
Pretty sure I saw oak leaves on his collar
@@douglascook4374 Ok, funny oak leaves are an ancient symbol; for sacrifice
@@GregJay Oak leaves mean Major
@@douglascook4374 Only if they’re gold, but if they’re silver it’s a lieutenant colonel.
Genial et super image!
Wow the Ambient music puts you in a trance while you watch these great pictures , did I just see Hitler's record collection?
Jep 👍
Im stoned to.
Ha ha , no such luck , far too usy for that , you bash on though 😌
It was all of his documentation in that room. The "records" were actually recordings of every one of his speeches. Along with folders of the speeches and every document he ever signed, effectively.
Always thought it poignant that in the secret 1980s bunker photos the lower levels flooded and inaccessible. It's like nature doing what we as humans can't for ourselves
Why did the senators need to visit? That seems like a waste of taxpayer money.
As if no taxpayers money was not wasted hahahaha
Senators looted books
You can see very clearly all those congress members with all the books and records , one is stuffing something on his coat...
THERE?? THEIR!!
Firstly the US military did not liberate Europe the whole allies liberated Europe 2nd US didn't enter the war till 1941 and only entered because Japan attacked them otherwise they would have kept out
Tripartite Pact forced US into war with Axis: to strike Germany 1st, delaying full commitment against Japan was a good choice, according well with development timetable for Manhattan and B29 delivery system. With the defeat of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan - justice was never better served, however Europe was all but knocked out until America began shouldering more extensive joint Allied combat operations, additionally providing Lend/Lease arms and war materiel, and then the Marshall plan to rebuild post war Europe: otherwise it would have been dosvidanya comrade!
Simplistic view and incorrect. The US would have definitely entered, if only to protect its future. Hitler would not have stopped, and the US economy NEEDED the world to sell to, and buy from.
And if America had stayed out all of Europe would be German speaking now.
Excellent film ...anyone pick up on the Martin Borman tree still standing at the end of the driveway and know it's history....then all the big wigs looking at Hitler's big window ,that could go up and down inside the frame of the home. That's why the big gap the politician is standing over the gap in the film .
Then all the big wigs and politicians come out the door ,the ol ' Private U.S.Army give the Present Arms Salute with the rifle to all of them and only one Officer returns his Salute ...Then in the last it looks like one of Hitler's automobiles are being used ....It is really a shame that the German people or govt. Did not save alot of the history there for people to see in future generations, so it could bear witness to what really happened, then to be buried and forgotten... just the Ol Soldier's opinion who been around and there ...walked the fields and grounds .. and the many cemeteries of the Americans ,British, French ,and Germans ....what a cost we paid to get to the big picture window.....
Wow even though Hitler's house was burnt out & really messed up the bunker system looked to be in excellent shape except for things all tossed around by people looking for valuables!
Treasure trove of evidential artifacts found. I wonder what happened to them. Great workmanship in construction of this deep, deep concrete bunker, probably constructed during some major battles. Very revealing. Thank you.
The artwork was returned to the museums where it was stolen from, if they could be identified. Any of the writings and manuscripts should still be in the US archives somewhere.
As I understand, the Nazis had witnessed the allied strategic bombing campaign and in 1943 the construction of the bunker complex underneath the Berghof was done. The Germans have always had excellent engineers and architects when it comes to bunker complexes.
Constructed by slave labourers.
never saw any of this before!
Excellent
Some very famous faces are in this video, generals Omar Bradley and George S Patton.
They come to show off
They all go in empty handed but come out carrying loot in they're hands and under they're coats.
They were fighting in WW2 i think it is ok to take something from the bunker.
they risked their lives so a loot activity to be expected and allowed
My Uncle Norman was in the 101st and was sent to Berchtesgaden at the end of the war. I saw a swastika tapestry in his house; it was at least 5 by 10 feet high. He must have taken it as a souvenir. He had landed at Normandy and I remember my father talking about how worried the family was because of the casualty rate. He eventually became a very successful attorney and was made a county judge in Blue Earth County in southern Minnesota.
Great find, still don't understand why colour film was not used though. More expensive but much better looking
Color film was available in 1945 but the speed (ASA) of Kodak Kodachrome was only 10. Virtually the whole film would have been nothing but black. B&W films were far more sensitive.
@@neilalbaugh4793Even Mrs Hitler had color film. be good to get this colored
@@blairdoe6764 Colorizing is vandalism. leave history alone.
You answered your own question.
So interesting
Any body notice the room with the cabinet 1st know bottle then a bottle showed up
Imagine if the army filmed their raids like this today lol
How many comments have been posted stating the US Airborne Officer walking through being filmed is Ronald Spiers...solely based on the actor in the BAND OF BROTHERS and this soldier look like twins....amazing...
Hate to be the one to say it, but I think it should be 'their orders were' not 'there'
Seems quite produced for first inspection
And only one soldier doing a "First" inspection? C'mon now...
so not the first. All the areas open and he spent minimal time, it was just a show off footage
That's just Yanks staging shit for their own agenda.
@@markholroyde9412 ...say's Mark Hemroid!
@@markholroyde9412 yeah how dare them yanks do anything for themselves.

A lot of fucking indeed!

Primary vez que veo este Pelicula.
Interesante.
Even the senator took some souvenirs out of The Berghoff. It didn’t take long for that place to get picked clean….If you want to see some of the items from the house, go to a military show. I’ve seen many cool personal items there.
What happened to the telephone by the bed?
I love that its an army video but you play the navy and marine hymn at the beginning 😂😂😂
Instead of music why not put commentary of exactly what we are seeing.
That one thing that blows me away is the power and lights are still on. We bombed the shit out of Germany I would of thought any power stations or Generators would of been destroyed. We leveled Germany how is the power still on?
Nice touch that there was a phone on the bed table, and for good measure they did a shoot with the champagne bottle there instead. Completely changed the story it tells.
I heard in an interview with PFC Vincent Speranza that they located a map of the world coded in three colors. The colors were to have indicated who would get what if the axis won.
That flashlight is blinding.
LOL like a firefly in a milk bottle
can you imagine the madness hitler would feel if he were alive to see the enemy walking around inside of his bombed home. the guy would explode
Is the music Anchors Away?
That was a strange choice for the opener. Not many Navy folks marched into BGN in May 1945.
I think we can all agree this is not the first inspection of the bunker, the original inspection is not for public viewing, because is when everything important and valuable was taken also got to love politicians, they go in empty handed and come out with lots of souvenirs 😂🤣, they all felt like little fuhrers when they got in the car
😁😄😂
These an old British veteran who got interviewed on our UK news channel the other day he was one of the first in hitlers home after the Soviets and he has Hitler's bow tie and grabbed handfuls of iron crosses that he has given every family member 1 iron cross and has another load he said he'd let go for 50k if anyone wanted them! Haha
I've seen that but I think that was Hitlers other house. Pretty sure it wasn't the Berghof
I don't recall any music that sounds as good from the Army. Maby I forgot what they had as music 🎶 sound any better
Creepy and fascinating at the same time
15:06 Look at this guy..
That's not picked clean yet ! I knew a guy who went there in the 1990's, came back with a brick that he said was from Hitlers driveway LMAO !
Eva brauns room,
Here people talk of the champagne bottle, but beside it is the glass.
Together they speak volumes.
The records in the other room were hitlers collection, the files copies and originals of his speeches, some
Had corrections, annotations and additions by Hitler himself.
Band of brothers shows captain winters and easy company guarding the berghoff, and the officer in the film looks remarkably like lieutenant spiers , Scottish born, US liason and commander of spandau prison.
Something which I've always thought to be eerily creepy were the murals/paintings on the walls in some of the Nazi bunkers. Some of them depicted Nazi solders with angels wings draped over them like shields, to me they were creepy looking because they were so weird.
Where?
@@takasmaka820 There was one in Hitler's bunker. In 1988 shortly before it was destroyed by explosives someone secretly entered the bunker with a video camera and filmed some of the corridors. The mural can be seen in the video. I have read descriptions of such murals found in other Nazi bunkers.
@@takasmaka820 The paintings were shown in the interior walls of the Berlin bunker. They were painted by shoulders of Hitlers Liebstandarten in their own bunker spaces.
They fought for Christianity against the Communists... Every soldier had the words "Gott Mit Uns" on their belt buckles and buttons.
@Hold Fast Of course they did.. 🤣🤣
That’s Hitlers Bob Marley collection @6:25
😂😂😂👌👌👌
They really bombed the absolute hell out of the whole area.
Does anyone know who the soldier is that’s walkn thru the place?
Ronald Spiers...You probably recognize him from the Band of Brothers...(sarcasm inserted obviously)
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪...
Sweden ? is that a restaurant in New York ? I think i ate there once.
It is a resturant on the backside of the moon - sometimes I eat chinese food there 👍
Kelly’s Heros Scenes?! LOL
The video at 10,27 (time) is the one of the 2 emergency exit from Berghof, Hitlers bunker system. Gøring had one and the same goes for Borman.
First inspection? By ONE soldier? Sorry, but there would have been soldiers all over that bunker for first inspection.
I wish we could go down there today and see what's left of the place. I know they couldn't destroy every room the walls were too thick with lots of rebar. All that history just sitting down there lost forever.
They built a parking lot on top of it. Theres a video on CZcams showing it. Look it up 👌
@@shaunrocksthecitytvshow4117 wrong bunker buddy

You still can. That entrance they show in the movie reel is now covered with a transparent walled building to protect the entrance and you can tour that section.
Sehr tolle Bilder!
Now we have them here!
It was the first inspection but the cameraman was setting up there first?
Marine Corp Hym Really when the Occupying force was Army
It would be nice if someone could explain where they are going in the bunker, and even combine that with a picture of the hole bunker.
The room with the LP's /records was Hitlers private archive. So, his stuff. The small room with the bars was for the dog Blondi. You visit a peace of the bunkers, including the area where Blondi's room is. The big window is from Hitlers livingroom and that window was 4 by 9 meter and the window could be lowered as you can also see by the handmovement of one of the men in the window shows with his hand. The wall with square holes are machinegun bunkers. I was in one of them. Entrance from below and in their walls are rectangular holes to roll stick handgrenades though. The rest is obvious.
@@gerhard6105 Thank you so much for the reply. I really appreciate it. I also thought this was the Bunker in Berlin, not the one at Obersalzberg. My fault

Thanks for the video shame it was trashed before seeing it. Evil man but very interesting!!😎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦
Im just waiting to see putler house
best souvenir was the car
No matter how evil the Nazis were this footage is still interesting.
Officers don’t wear rank in a combat zone also in training I remember being in the field in South Korea and everyone was saluting the brigades commander a full bird and I didn’t and a CSM that accompnies the colonel stop and asked why I didn’t salute and I said we are in training for war and you don’t salute officers and the CSM said good answer and I was a sergeant you should know this if u were in the military they become a target for enemy snipers and if an officer requested a salute then I would probably salute if he or her requested or demanded that would be at there risk not mine also the reason you salute an officer is respect for rank be they also retire salute to acknowledge
*Return.......sorry
In World War 2, officers had a big, white vertical stripe on the backs of their helmets, and non-coms had the same size in a horizontal stripe. Pretty dumb.
What a contrast between the military personnel examining the ruins and artifacts, then leaving empty handed, and the Senators' departure.
They weren't allowed to, or they would've. Besides, the townspeople already got all the goodies right after the bombings. They were right there in the villages.
The military didn't leave empty handed at all. Anything small enough to get away with
The spooky, creepy music was interesting considering the place was already swept clear...it would have been a lot creepier if there were still Germans with machine guns firing down the corridors😊
Most of this stuff ended up in crates going back to the states.
After the red army took all the good stuff America got to pick through all the unwanted trash.
@@ssherrierable in their defense. They fought the hardest on the western front (coming from the east of course)lost the most men and made it to Berlin first. Early bird catches the worm. I wish the US got there first we’d probably have so many more questions answered.
@@ssherrierable The Commies weren't truly interested in taking war trophies. Rather then would shoot it up and destroy items. Whereas American soldiers crated items up by the boat load and sent them back to the states.

Anyone knows who the four star general @11:38 is ?

And why destroying the thea house at Mooslanerköpf????
