Nurnberg is quite an impressive city
Many historical events here
NAZI DOCUMENTATION CENTER
amazing place
Everyone uses headphones in their own language
Tells the whole story (no excuses . . no holds barred)
Hitler and Albert Speer (architect)
worked together
to construct a gigantic meeting place in . . Nurnberg
(formerly used by the Holy Roman Empire)
to now become the 3rd Reich (3rd Empire . . this time "GERMAN")
A special temporary exhibit displaying the volumes of materials about Speer
and his scheming with Hitler
Speer's "MASTER" (?) . . we all have to decide who and what we give our lives to
They intended to build a Congressional Hall . . twice the size of Rome's Coliseum
The reason so much is known about them is because they were . . meticulous record keepers
In this section . . cards document every member . . every person executed . .
the name and place and date and "final solution"
The Documentation Center has constructed an arm to walk out into the
never completed "Congressional Hall"
so visitors can experience the size and magnitude of their dreams.
People can walk down and enter the remains of
Hitler's and Speer's intended . . Congressional Hall
The Interior was to look like this . .
including a cover above.
The Lake separates the unfinished Congressional Hall from Zeppelin Field
ZEPPELIN FIELD
where Hitler held his Annual Rallies with hundreds of thousands participating . .
We're going UP THERE . . (where the boys are standing)
so we can see the view the way Hitler saw it . .
Come on up !
We're going UP THERE . . (where the boys are standing)
so we can see the view the way Hitler saw it . .
Come on up !
"Just because . ."
We're omitting some big numbers in this story
Zeppelin Field is . . BIG
forms a giant circle
with parade route that passed right by the . . BIG GUY's Center Top Box
"MEGA" . . fits the megalomaniac

WWII historic ART BUNKERS
Nurnberg was certain they would be bombed . . which they were . .
later . . than other places
so they busily crated up as many valuable
paintings . stained glass . statues
crowns . and more
and put them underground beneath the heavily fortified Nurnberg Castle.
The guided tour with English headsets
takes place 'underground'
(Martin Luther memorabilia included)
Depending on the item . . suitable crates were made to fit the item(s)
Numerous tunnels go in all directions under the castle (and beyond)
From the hallways . . smaller rooms are excavated to store the crated goods.
6 - 8 foot thick iron doors (lockable) secured the stored items
from theft as well as bombs

where perpetrators of the NAZI Regime
were put on Trial
