I went to Dachau on Mother’s Day and Nuremberg on our Anniversary weekend. I’m soaking in all this European history while I can!
We visited the Documentation Center and the Parade Grounds where Hitler made propaganda videos of his party.
The author of Third Reich in Ruins website has many pictures of the area. If you go to this link and scroll down about halfway to where you see the words, “The RAD assembled on the Zeppelinfeld…” you will see Hitler on the platform that we got to see and walk on during our visit.

This tour was so fascinating. The audio tour was the best I’ve ever taken. When we walked into a room our listening devices automatically started playing right were the video was. There were many places we had to press a number to hear the audio, but for all the movies, it was automatic! This was an exhibit of items found around the area and it was imbedded into the floor of the first room.
Nuremburg is where my best friend lives!!
Oh, wow! If you want me to deliver a treat in person sometime before December, let me know!
Captivating photos! Great way to learn a bit of German history.
We have learned so much over our time here. We look forward to compiling all our WWII European History into a Shutterfly photo book.
