The Eagle's Nest: Looted Artifacts & Engine Rooms | American Artifact Episode 68

As WWII was winding down, one of the prizes that U.S. soldiers were targeting was Hitler's Eagle's Nest. The soldiers who got into this place walked away with some interesting souvenirs. We're bringing some of them back to show at the very spot where they originated from. Also, we're taking a RARE look at the engine room of the Eagle's Nest, which is inaccessible to the general public. Much to see here!

Incredible to have those artifacts. You and Erik are terrific researchers. This series needs to be shown in schools.

I was on a tour in around '97 or '98 and the tour guide told me he had been on tours when older men would approach the fire place and pull out a red rock from their pocket and try to form it on the mantel of the fireplace. You sharing this video is chilling to me.Thank you! He also said some would take out there .45's to chip off pieces of it.

The picture of the soldier with the key was pretty awesome. You could tell by the look on his face just what a thrill it was. This Eagle's Nest series is amazing! (not that they all aren't)
