That has been a debated here a few times and many of us disagree with tearing down history.Was there a good reason for its removal or just the Bavarian Govt erasing the past?
Hi Halfdan, I've been looking for an image of the Munchen balcony, but have not been able to find one with A.Hitler on it?Halfdan S. wrote:Hi Johnny R.
Unfortunately it's not the same balcony - the one I've posted a photo of is from his appartmentblock in München, the ones you've posted are from the Reichskanzlei in Berlin . . .

I agree with you in principle, but on the other hand, I'd like to make an opinion from case to case.Johnnyrocket wrote:History should not be destroyed, it should be learned from.
Interesting concept, vszulc, and I know it's your opinion, but I can't see where "victim's rights" are an option for consideration; tearing down a historical building can't be considered an aspect of reparation, and it doesn't bring a loved on back or lessen the pain of loss. If that were the case, then a lot of buildings across the globe would have to be destroyed, as many churches, synagogues and religious edifices can be considered "places of worship for sick minds", depending on what side of the belief fence one is on...the Vatican, case in point, was known to be sympathtic to the Nazi cause (or, at least indifferent)...should St. Peter's Basilica be razed?vszulc wrote:I agree with you in principle, but on the other hand, I'd like to make an opinion from case to case.Johnnyrocket wrote:History should not be destroyed, it should be learned from.
I don't think there's anything fundamentally or principally wrong with tearing down a house that belonged to, for example Hitler, or a nazi monument. The memory of the victims and their rights is more important, I think, than the right of some history-buff, to march around in said house 50 years later.
You're not tearing down history, it's just a building, that to some sick minds might be a place of worship. History is so much more than just a building.
But as I said, I like to make an opinion from case to case.

Hermann Göring was never resident in Rosenheim. His birth in this town, exact in a Hotel or Sanatorium MARIENBAD, was more or less an accident. His mother made an attendance in Rosenheim, when Hermann decided, to come out:-).dwseiple wrote:Hello All!
How about Goring's childhood home in Rosenheim, does it still stand?

I have a VHS copy of "Ruins of the Reich" but didn't know there was a sequel. I thought their site was gone, and they were out of business?Von Odine wrote:I have no photos..

I have seen many photos of the other leaders' homes, but never Ley's...I would be interested in seeing some period interior and exterior photos of his house....
I for one, would love to be able to walk through the Berghof, or Reichskanzlei today. History was made in those buildings, not considering their craftsmanship or outstandingly beautiful design.vszulc wrote:I agree with you in principle, but on the other hand, I'd like to make an opinion from case to case.Johnnyrocket wrote:History should not be destroyed, it should be learned from.
