Bücher von David Harper

As a WWII tour director for thirty-five years, David Harper has repeatedly heard the same questions from an extremely varied American and British audience: ¿Why did the Germans vote for Hitler? Did they know about the concentration camps? What did German soldiers and members of the SS feel about the extermination camps and the war crimes they were committing? How do today¿s Germans view Hitler and the Third Reich? What is the country doing at present to address those dark pages of its history and to remember the victims of Hitler¿s regime? Do the right-wing demonstrations in Germany portend a resurgence of Nazi ideology today?¿ All these questions and many more are addressed in Exposing the Reich. The book seeks to promote an understanding of how the devastation and tragedy of the war and the concurrent genocide could happen. It studies the lethal blend of inciting hatred, ongoing indoctrination, justification for drastic action, and the complete control of all media. How many people know, for instance, that Hitler was writing an opera when he lived in Vienna or how he developed his antisemitic outlook while living there? Few know about the early political and ideological influences on Hitler¿s worldview, such as those instigated by his little-known mentor, Eckart. Who has ever heard about Hitler¿s ¿second book,¿ in which he revealed his major foreign policy plans, a manuscript that remained secret? How many realize that Hitler¿s regime planned on replacing Christianity with its own ¿religion¿ and substituting Mein Kampf for the Bible? Why did Hitler name his regime the ¿Third¿ Reich, and why did he choose the swastika as its logo? Why did the fine arts enjoy such an honored status during the Reich? What were the lesser-known original purposes of the concentration camp system established in Germany just weeks after Hitler seized power? Who realizes that, just prior to Hitler seizing power, the Jewish population in Germany was a mere 0.7%?These, and countless more insights regarding the Third Reich, are revealed in Exposing the Reich. From young students to well-informed history buffs, readers will gain a wealth of new insights into Hitler and his regime of terror.

Whoever loves the mountains will inevitably come to Berchtesgaden someday. Because this region with Königssee, Watzmann and the famous picture of the Ramsau church in front of the mighty cliffs of the Reiteralm is one of the most famous areas in the Alps. Rightly so! Because here you can experience the mountains in an unbelievable variety - from small walks along lively streams to demanding suspended summit ascents. Berchtesgaden also has a lot to offer historically! For centuries, this small village was directly subordinate to the Pope and over time, it developed due to the rich salt deposits to an economic giant next to Salzburg. Even a very dark chapter of German history took place here in the idyll. Adolf Hitler lived on the Obersalzberg from 1927 and had it extended to the alpine fortress until 1945.All year long it is worthwhile to be here on the way - even if the weather does not play along.
