Eagle's Nest

This picture of me taken in the summer of 1989 at Hitler's Eagle's Nest retreat in the Bavarian Alps near Berchtesgaden, Germany and Saltzburg, Austria. It was actually pretty chilly up there. I think the tour guide said that a political hack had built the retreat at great expense to impress Hitler and gain his favor. Little did he know that Hitler was afraid of heights and only spent a very few nights there.
