Ever since news of Adolph Hitler's mountain refuge, his Eagle's Nest, on the 6,000-foot summit of the Kehlstein, came out of Nazi Germany, the world has been curious about Der Fuhrer's lonely mountain perch. This curiosity, deliberately stimulated by the Nazis themselves to brighten the aura of mystery built around Der Fuhrer, made the name of Berchtesgaden, the little town at its foot, a symbol for what the Nazis billed as "the holy mountain". Contains many black and white photographs, illustrations of furnishings and rooms, and a map of the Obersalzberg Colony.
