Munich - Third Reich Tour

I have finally decided to post a little (very little) on our trip to Munich or as the Germans refer to it here in Deutschland, "München". (It is ironic that I should happen to update today as it is "VE" day (Victory in Europe day...60 year anniversary).

As my husband and I have an interest in military history, we decided to take the "Third Reich Tour" of Munich (which also included a tour of Dachau Concentration Camp).

This tour took us past buildings where the Hitler and the Nazi party held their meetings and parades. (I will not go into the history itself as you should all be aware of what occurred. If you are not acquainted with this history, then I suggest you do some research, talk to the "old timers", etcetera...this is meant for the "younger" readers who may have a "general" knowledge of the era.) As you will see, from one of the pictures from Dachau Concentration Camp, "...Never again..." will ring true for you if you know of this history.

Being this was the "Third Reich Tour", there is much that I could write on regarding what occurred, the political aspects, etc., but I choose not to do this. Instead, we will visit München once again and tour the "typical" tourist sites. And perhaps I will write then (on a lighter note and with a less heavy heart).
