Download or read book Hitler's Alpine Retreat written by James Wilson and published by Casemate Publishers and Book Distributors. This book was released on 2005 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this unique book James Wilson demonstrates, using 270 original German postcards from his personal collection, how Hitler's obsession with the beautiful and normally peaceful region of Berchtesgardener Land, and in particular the area known as the Obersalzberg, was used to project a powerful but totally misleading image of this most evil regime. This book offers an extraordinary atmospheric opportunity to view the landscape, buildings (most now long disappeared) and close associates of the Fuhrer. Each of the contemporary images records a unique moment of history which would otherwise have been lost forever."--BOOK JACKET.
