    Fischhorn Castle - any photos from Göring's surrender?

    I was in Bruck and Zell Am See this past Fall, and visited Fischhorn castle - here is one of the photos I brought back . . .

    I was wondering if anyone here would know where I could find photos of the castle from the time of Göring's capture? I took many photos of the castle while in Bruck, and would like to add some photos from the time of the capture (reproductions would be great) alongside the contemporary photos I have displayed in my Home - especially something that might include soldiers around the castle from the time of Göring's apprehension. I have searched all over the web, and there does not seem to be much available . . .

    My Thanks go out in advance to anyone who could offer any form of assistance to my request.

    This is supposed to be from his first day as a P.O.W. but it doesn't appear to be the castle in the background...

      Yes, DennyB, I've have seen that footage before as well, and it does not appear to be the same location to me either . . . By all written accounts of the surrender I have read, it seems to be unanimous that the first day/night of apprehension did indeed take place at Fischhorn (but the capture itself did not necessarily occur AT Fischhorn - reputedly, he was brought back to here from another location) - so I wonder where this footage was taken? The account told here http://kenalford.blogspot.com/2005/0...s-capture.html is one of many I have seen, but I can find no photos taken from the moment that actually show the castle?

      Today, there are still a few overgrown and abandoned building/houses beside the castle - similar to this one in the photo below. I wonder if any of these buildings might have been the same few we see in this video? Maybe even some of these buidlings were the same ones utilized by the brother Fegelein and his detachment - who knows? I used the map, and looked around for the secret "treasure" while I was there, but alas, did not find anything . . . or did I?

        There is a story in one of the WW2 magazines on this. I had a copy and gave it to a 36th id vet as it was the T-patchers who captured him. I do remember a picture of something to do with the castle, seems it was period and at the time of the capture so I am sure someone will come along who has it.
