Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
I just revisited a Mark Felton video about AH's "secret girlfriend." It mentions that Geli Raubal had a room at the Berghof that was sealed up and untouched after her suicide. Where would that room be, or is it a misplaced reference to the Munich apartment?

Geli Raubal shot herself on 19 or 20 September 1931 in the Munich apartment.
And the stories I've heard on the untouched room were about Munich.

Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
Are there known aerial photo's of the Gutshof area?
I am searching for the location of the bee house west of the Gutshof.
And for the old pathways around the Gutshof. All the aerial photo's I can find have the focus on the berghof, ss kazerne or the Antenberg region.
A photo like this viewtopic.php?f=44&t=28208&hilit=Tallbo ... #p1848835 but then a bit more to the west.

Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
Yes, these are photos from the US National Archives (including that Bee House close-up). I believe they are all online. If you search the National Archives (NARA) website, photos section (Still Pictures Branch), search for Obersalzberg and the like, you should be able to find them.
Also, a book that would be indispensable in you map work would be - https://www.amazon.nl/Verwandlung-eines ... 212&sr=8-2

Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
Not the Berghof, since the Berghof didn't exist when Geli died. Geli did have her own room in Haus Wachenfeld (upper story, I don't know what the layout was, or which room was hers), and this was supposedly preserved untouched after her death. It would have burned along with the rest of the wood structure when the SS set the Berghof on fire on 4 May 1945.

Bodnerfarm behind the Berghof
I am curious about the pre Nazi Bodnerfarm, consisting of a couple of buildings that were behind the Haus Wachenfeld. There are several photos of the farm and house, but the photos that I have seen give no information on the farm itself other than identifying the place. I assume there was a Bodner family? Any information or leads to sources of reference would be great. Thanks!

Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
I tried all weekend, i cannot find any aerial pictures from around Berchtesgaden, except for the obvious ones. I spend hours in the different archive sites. IWM, NARA, RAF archive . I cannot find reconnaissance air pictures.
I will buy the Max Hartmann book though. I was trying to find it as ebook, but that seems to be impossible.

I read that her parents or at least her mother had a room in house Wachenfeld, since it was not so big and there was already an annex which later would become the adjudancy.Geoff Walden wrote: ↑26 Feb 2021, 01:58Not the Berghof, since the Berghof didn't exist when Geli died.

I would say, with some puzzling, we should be able to identify it.

Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
To Project X: If you're referring to the post I left regarding the Bodnerfarm a couple of days ago, yes those two paintings show the farm, just in back of the ole Haus Wachenfeld. Nice paintings by the way!!!
Re: Berghof Obersalzberg
May I ask who was the artist?
