Secrets of Hitlers Eagles Nest - The SUBMARINE ENGINE and the ELEVATOR - Short-Documentary

Around 400,000 visitors visit the Kehlsteinhaus annually, mostly on nice days, at an altitude of 1834 meters. Since the house was opened to the public in the early 50s, visitors can visit most of the rooms that are related to the gastronomy.
But there are also some rooms that are not open to the public, which we would like to show you in this documentation.
First of all, there are the technical operating rooms, the core of which is a powerful diesel engine from 1940. This engine is still fully functional today and
ensures a reliable power supply in the event of a power failure for both the house and the elevator.
The large winch motor, which is housed in the roof of the house, transports the ever-increasing number of visitors to the Kehlsteinhaus, which is 124 meters higher.
Finally, join us on a breathtaking ride on the roof of the elevator car high into the interior of the house.

Glad it wasn’t destroyed. We need to preserve history no matter how painful it may be.

I was stunned to see the original diesel generator and the control panel still in working order, amazingly the original tools still there, after all it is made in Germany.

I took a tour of Eagles Nest nearly 30 years ago. The tour guide was most informative.

When at the top, I spoke with a former Nazi soldier in his eighties and listened to his war stories. Amazing place to visit.

It is really too bad that some of the other structures of the Obersalzberg didn't survive the war as well as this. The architecture and skills of the builders were second to none.

We visited there in 2012 and will never forget the incredible view and the great meal we had that day.. This video helps us relive that trip.

Another great Video of German Engineering which still perform with minimum supervision and minimum maintenance

Very interesting look into the workings of this beautiful building. So glad it didn't get bombed

I was there in 1994 on a brisk, beautiful clear October day. Incredible views of the mountains. What I remember most is the bus ride up the mountain with the 6-level brakes system on the bus, the elevator ride to the top and then the breath taking views. The night before I went into a restricted area with my brother-in-law down into the bomb shelters built by the Nazis. The General Walker Inn was a beautiful place, sadly I've learned the Germans have torn it down.

Extremely well done and completely professional. Thank you for the insight.

[garbizzi]

Its amazing that they could build that on top of the mountain like that!

While in the Army I was stationed in Berchtesgaden between 1980 and 1981. Strub Kaserne was where we lived and worked out of.

Brilliant to see this with the English narration. Thanks you. I would love to see some of the other earlier tunnel exploration documentraries in English too.

[papagen]

they should have preserved the Berghof also.

1:00: Eagle's Nest was not the Tea House; they were two different structures entirely..

[silverado]

Dang this channel is amazing. One of my favorite channels in regards to WWII history in europe

[larryours-kdko]

I was there in 1973, while station with the 385 th M.P. Bn in Stuttgart, Germany. I was hoping someone would show the view from the buses during the accent and decent. Brings back alot of memories. Larry W. Ours

[christopherhunter]

Very interesting . I remember visiting on a school trip some 47 years ago. The thing that stood out was the brass lift.

[bozznianbandz]

Incredible.. wow. It’s crazy how Siemens is still a company and running strong.

[michaejackson]

Such a magnificent view! I’ve been there several times! The bus ride up the mountain is harrowing!😳😳

[tuffyderauswijch]

Ik ben daar ook geweest 2 jaar geleden, ontzettend gaaf om te zien!
Berchtesgaden heeft iets heel bijzonders.

Groeten uit Nederland!
