Military Historical Tours  is pleased to offer this very special tour that follows the rise and fall of one of the most infamous regimes of all time – Nazi Germany. Our tour traces one of the darkest chapters in history, from the origins of the National Socialist Party in 1920s Munich, to the plunge into World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust. The tour will also explore the collapse of this brutal empire, which culminated in the destruction of Berlin and the spectacle of the Nuremburg War Trials in 1946. This tour will not glorify the actions of this sinister regime, but will shed light on this terrible time by walking the ground where these world-changing events occurred. This tour will include Dachau the first of the notorious concentration camps that was the blueprint for the holocaust’s nightmare.                                     

From Munich, we will travel to Berchtesgaden in the mountains of Bavaria.  Here, you will visit the Eagles Nest, a 3rd Reich era building, atop the summit of the Kehlstein.  From the mountains of Bavaria, we will travel North to the city of Nuremberg, where historic rallies were held in support of the 3rd Reich.   At the DokuZentrum you will see where the massive rallies of "Hitler's boys" took place and while visiting the stadium, you will have the opportunity to stand on the dais, where Hitler stood to address the masses.  At the Justice Center, you will sit in room 600, where the Nuremberg Trials were held and conduct a self guided tour through the Justice Museum. The castle in Nuremberg, together with the old city walls, is considered to be one of Europe's most formidable medieval fortifications. Nuremberg had significant historical importance in the Holy Roman Empire and along with being centrally located within Germany, made a perfect location for Hitler’s Nazi Party conventions. 

You will witness the destruction of Dresden in the ensuing war and the rebirth of a city under soviet rule.  The tour will conclude in Berlin, where the division of a country (Berlin Wall) once stood for all to see.  Only a portion of that wall still remains.  Symbols of peace and unity (Brandenburg Tor, Jewish Memorial, etc.) now stand erect  throughout the city.   In addition to fulfilling the historical elements of this trip, we are offering cultural opportunities in Nuremberg, Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and Prague, in the Czech Republic.
