EK II from Berchtesgaden

This wall looked empty, so I scratched something in it.

There was a shaft that seemed to go down forever....maybe to Hell?

I threw my wife down there and never heard her hit bottom!

Just kidding. I'm incredibly lucky to have a lady that was actually interested in this schtuff.

Not sure if that is a ghost I see?

We exit at the back of the old Bormann guesthouse / Doc O-berg.

You can see some of the original structure.

Notice the reflection of a famous mountain in the windows?

The next piture was taken from the upper balcony.

The same 15 years ago...

The famous mountains

Here's the shot from the balcony. Not too far off from all the footage you've seen taken on the patio above the Berghof garage, which was just a couple hundred meters to the East.

Last pic for today gentlemen (and ladies). That terrible, awful, disgusting thing called "work" becons once again!

I took this photo 15 years ago. I am standing on the road, below the Berghof (the Turken would be on my right, a few 100 yards up that road)

Sorry to spoil this great thread but I have an add in the Wanted section...I am looking for old postcards / photos of the Obersalzberg. Let me know if you have anything before I go there in late July....

[Tim Calvert]

That is freaky...

[MH184]

and on this day the British bombers actually hit their target! Well, it was 617 Squadron, and daylight with no fighter opposition.
Sorry Marcus!
;-)



Cheeky so and so, arh but you see, we predominantly bombed by night, you guys during the daylight hours.

You Americans couldn't even hit it when your saw it, so we had to do the job properly and of course show you how it was done (He says )


In other words, 50/50 by guess and by god and we were lucky that time ....you chose a one in million raid


Take care,

Marcus

Tim the next time I walk the dog, I'll take some pic's of Grafton Underwood were the first and last bombs were dropped by the 8th, Ilve right next to it.<!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

Hello Tim,
Great! Yes, the view from our window was the same, or similar, as that shown. The trees were quite a bit smaller in those days. I'll see if I can find my photos from the dark ages (pre digital). I'm glad to see that the Bormann guest house was not torn down (along with the Platterhof). I had thought that one was also removed. I wish they'd restored it instead of making it into a glasshouse.
