Munich, Nuremberg & Obersalzburg
National Socialism was not born in the bars and cafes of post war Berlin, but in the beer halls of Bavaria.
It was the streets of Munich which bore witness to the NSDAP’s first attempt to seize power, the vast Party Rally Grounds in Nuremberg where the concept of Volksgemeinschaft ?rst became a reality and the Berghof above the beautiful village of Bertchesgarten where Hitler had built his retreat from the world.
For those studying the rise of the Nazis a tour to these cities is a must.

The Road to Power - Berlin, Nuremberg & Berlin
In just 8 years the NSDAP grew from a provincial Party rooted firmly in its Bavarian heartland to the party of Government with over 2 million members nationwide.
Despite its reliance on intimidation backed up by the use of physical violence, the promise of restoring national pride and economic prosperity held such appeal for millions of ‘ordinary Germans’ that they were willing to hand over the seat of power in the Reichstag.
By starting your tour in Munich and Nuremberg before then moving on to Berlin, visiting key sites in each city, your students will gain a real insight into how the Nazi hierarchy planned and then seized power, thereby changing the course of European history.
