The Fuhrer’s Hideout
Hitler was a man who appreciated the finer things in life, and he loved anything related to art and architecture. Some historians suggest that this was an unpursued passion he had before he opted for a life of politics. His carefully designed retreat house (seen below) was one of the places he used as an official headquarters during WWII.
The Fuhrers Hideout
Unfortunately for him, American bombers destroyed the entire estate in 1945. It was eventually demolished by the Bavarian government in the early 1950’s. The photo gives a sense of what it was like, but the pure scale and size could only be appreciated on the ground.
