Full description
Explore the historical significance of World War II, Adolf Hitler, and the Allied Forces on a full-day tour through Salzburg City and Bavaria. Gain insight into the impacts of bombing raids, the occupation by the Allies, and the war that defined generations, making Europe an arena for one of the most abhorrent disasters in history.
Witness firsthand the remaining evidence of World War II and the Allies on this private tour, which takes you off the beaten tracks in the city of Salzburg, Berchtesgaden, and Obersalzberg. In Salzburg, discover the locations and stories behind the political opponents, Jewish citizens, and other minorities who were arrested and deported to concentration camps when German troops moved into the city in March 1938. Explore the POW camps, transit camps, and other sites of slave labor, including Camp Roeder, the largest American military base in Europe, and several displaced persons camps.
In Obersalzberg, a 30-minute drive from Salzburg, visit the Eagle's Nest, an architectural masterpiece and memorial to the insanity of the Third Reich. This summit, which towers over the Obersalzberg, was Hitler's retreat and the second most important headquarters of the Nazi regime.
Depending on your special interests, your tour can be tailored to provide historical background on the remaining evidence of World War II and the Allies. You can see vast bunker systems, air raid shelters, former SS headquarters, and more. If you're interested, the Eagle's Nest can be included in the tour, but this is only possible from mid-May until the end of October. During off-season and weather-dependent conditions, you can visit the Rossfeld, which provides a close-up view of the Kehlstein.
Regardless of your itinerary, this private WWII tour will bring historical awareness to present and future generations. Experience firsthand the locations, stories, and significance of a war that had a profound impact on Europe and the world.
