Munich

---

Today my nephew and I did a one day run up to Munich and joined a walking tour that visited sites that traced the history of the Third Reich. Munich was where Hitler came to power and the Nazi Party's headquarters. It was an extremely informative day, but COLD!. We warmed up over a late lunch at a beer hall😊

There is more that I would like to do in Munich and will spend a few days here later this week.

Munich
A building Hitler used as a model for his painting as a young man - when he intended to become an artist.

Hofbrauhaus
This is where Hitler first started speaking to large crowds. Today it is still a beer hall and restaurant.

Beerhall Putsch
Where the beerhall uprising ended - and later where the nazi salute became required when passing this corner. The laneway behind is where people chose to walk instead, in silent resistance.

Memorial
For those who lost their lives in the uprising

Nazi Headquarters
Note the holes where the eagle crest used to be.

Beer Hall Lunch
