I have a passion for the subject I talk about, which has led me to do primary history research into specific areas of the Second World War, which I started 35 years ago. I specialise in providing English language Second World War tours in southern Germany, which I do full time. The two specific areas I tend to focus on are: •Third Reich Munich - I have the largest photo archive of all Third Reich sites in Munich and conduct general tours of a few hours through to specialist all-day tours for PhD students, the Royal Air Force and so on. •Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial site - I have been an official guide for 20 years. I have met with many people connected with the camp over the years, survivors and liberators. I also provide tours to all the hidden related sites in the surrounding area. I am the only guide in southern Germany who provides this service. I have spoken to many people with a connection to this period of history, such as many of ex-prisoners and the soldiers who liberated Dachau before they passed away. I often took them back through the camp site many years later and talked to them about the specifics of what they saw and what happened back then. Despite these events happening over half a century ago, they shaped modern Europe and there are lessons to be learnt, so I feel that that it is an important subject to talk about. I also occasionally undertake more specialist private tours for real history buffs, historians and authors or perhaps sons or daughters of camp survivors to lesser known sites such as Kaufering or Moosburg, for example. If you have a specific request, please get in touch and I will see if I can tailor something to your needs. I am friendly and encourage questions and discussion. So whether you have only a basic understanding of the topic or already have a depth of knowledge on the subject, come on a tour with me.

An extensive photo archive of hundreds of Third Reich sites in the Munich area.

    Great tour, especially if you are interested in Third Reich history. Stephen was extremely knowledgeable about events and tied them to the sites along the way. His phone was loaded with tons of photos and other historical documents to bring life to the stories and places visited.

    Great overview of the rise of the Third Reich in Munich. Steve is an highly educated war historian- did a great job of explaining how Hitler/nazis came to power. Dachau is obviously very tough. He did a great job of explaining how the camps came to be, who was there and the lasting impact. Highly recommended.

    We had an amazing day with Steve. The subject matter was difficult, but Steve’s knowledge of the history is vast and he was such a pleasure to be with. Highly recommend Steve.
