Thanks for that ramms
This Opel had a turning circle of 11m compared with 14m for the Grosser.
Lengths -Opel 4.05m / Grosser 5.6m
See again my analysis of the problem

The road follows the same route as then, but it has been widened in several places. The road from the turnoff at the gate house ruins, going past the Berghof site and the Hotel zum Türken, has probably not been widened (except the period widening to allow the Mercedes to turn into the Berghof driveway), so that shows how narrow much of the road originally was.headwest wrote: ↑12 May 2021, 20:25Hi everyone
I was doing some google earth looking today (still cant believe they have it so rarely in Germany ) but was tracing the road up from Berchtesgaden to the old Berghof. as you go up the road, when you turn left off the main rd to go past the old Guardhouse foundation, there is a stone wall there. it looks somewhat like Hitlers driveway walls
i am curious if any of these walls are from that time?
also
is the road from town the exact same as it was then in terms of the route?
thanks so much
I concur.
I saw that and had the same question. "S"? How bizarre! Perhaps not the letter "S" as such but just a shape that happens to look the same as the letter?

Is it possible that what we're seeing was a mark applied later to this print, to obscure the swastika on the flag? That practice was actually pretty common on Haus Wachenfeld and Berghof post cards post-war.
$ 600 !? See what you mean. Those color postcards are not only extremely common actually, they are very widely published, and often in good quality.Hans1906 wrote: ↑31 May 2021, 15:31Book on sale from an american militaria dealer:

Sold for "only" 600,- american dollars, hard to believe the selling price achieved for this folder, the collectors are slowly going completely crazy!
One can no longer speak of a good investment at such prices, such a thing is complete nonsense!
