Discover how the Third Reich began—not in Berlin, but on the streets of Munich—on a uniquely immersive walking tour combining storytelling, visual media, and authentic artifacts. Unlike standard history walks, this tour includes a short archival documentary film that sets the scene of Munich after WWI and shows how economic crisis and social unrest shaped the city. Your guide also presents genuine period items, such as 1923 hyperinflation banknotes, era coins, and historical documents, used purely for educational context.
Follow Hitler’s early path through Munich in clear chronological order as you explore the locations where the movement first took shape. Exclusive before-and-after images help you compare historic Munich with the modern city around you.
Experience highlights include:
• Short archival documentary film
• Authentic historical artifacts
• Chronological “origins” storyline
• Exclusive visual comparison materials
• Small-group, respectful approach
