Most people know that Berchtesgaden is in Bavaria, the ironic thing is, Bavaria is a unbelievably beautiful area, you think any minute that Julie Andrews and Von Trapp Family is going to show up from the movie “The Sound of Music”...but at the same time, it was to some degree home of the Nazi Party, Hitler and all the major Nazis had homes there all stocked with the stolen riches of their conquered land...
Hitler was Austrian, and the most fanatical Nazis tended to be Austrian.
