Remaining example of Nazi version of Munich's coat of arms (its reichsadler since removed) I came across the other day

Great find, Keir! Thanks for showing it to us!

I visited the Munich NS-Documentation Center on Konigsplatz last month (which has an excellent exhibition), and there was a big white tube that ran from the base of the remains of the Ehrentempel to a window in the basement of the building formerly known as the Fuhrerbau. Anybody have any idea what this is about?

Really great photos.
Glad to see your still hot on the trail of history

Took me two 30-mile cycle trips to get this right of the atrium of Munich University showing the May 10, 1933 deomonstration after which professors and students marched by torchlight to burn books on Konigsplatz:

Came across these reliefs by accident when cycling around Munich. The owl in the centre is dated 1934- any ideas?

Spent the day taking then-and-now pics from the Day of German Art. Here are three from 1937 and 1938:
