Munich was the birthplace of the Nazi Party and as such is an important place to visit for any student of WW2. On this walking tour you will learn about the rise of Hitler and the N.S.D.A.P., how they gained power and the role the city played during WW2.
On this walking tour you will visit key sites associated with this period. This tour is fully illustrated with period artefacts to further your understanding of the period.
If you are based in the city centre we can meet in the main square - Marienplatz - otherwise we meet in the main train station (Hauptbahnhof). at the foot of platform 24, which is in the main hall (ground floor).
Our guides are all well read on this subject and typically have a professional history background.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Isartor is the imposing medieval gateway on Tal Str, just five minutes from Marienplatz. If you are particularly early and/or the weather is bad, take shelter underneath the nearby arches. Look for the guide with a sign.
Odeonsplatz is large plaza, abutting the Residenz palace and just a few minutes from Marienplatz.
What to expect
Out of this chaotic period the Nazi Party emerged, under the leadership of an Austrian by the name of Adolf Hitler.
Munich was christened by the Nazis as “Hauptstadt der Bewegung” or “Capital of the Movement”. The beautiful city on the river Isar became the heart, the spiritual home of a movement that would plunge Europe into another world war and lead to the deaths of millions.
Hopefully, by learning about this dark period in human history we can, perhaps in our own little way try to ensure that such a calamity never happens again.
On this tour you will see and learn about:
The Great War and the Treaty of Versailles
The origins of the Nazi Party
The birthplace of the SS
The infamous “Beer Hall Putsch”
“Crystal Night” and the origins of the Holocaust
The Nazi Party Headquarters and the signing of “The Munich Pact”
The Allied bombing campaign
How the city fell to US forces in 1945
