Dachau and the Third Reich - National Socialism in Munich

This tour is very much focused on the Nazi Regime and shows in an intense excursion both: The Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial and Munichs most important Nazi Sites. An ideal tour for people with a lack of time and a combination of two half-day Tours. We start with a review of the destructions done by World War II at the vibrant main square. Then we follow the footsteps of Adolf Hitler on his way to power, from the first mass meeting at Hofbräuhaus to the failed beer hall riot at Feldherrenhalle. We will travel then by public transport to the Dachau Memorial. It had been the first concentration camp under der Nazi regime. Designed as a camp for opponents it changed to a work camp. With the start of the war everything worsened. You will understand how the ultimate catastrophe could happen. Finally we will see memorials of the war and remaining Nazi buildings at Königsplatz, often called the spiritual center of the regime. It will be a historically well-founded timetravel which includes current politics.
