The infantry school where Hitler was tried after the 1923 putch

In Third Reich Munich on November 25, 2008 at 8:43 pm

This is the building in Blutenburg Strasse where Hitler and his co-defendants were tried in 1924 for their participation in the Beer hall putch. They were initially supposed to be tried in the main in Berlin but too many prominent members of Munich society were implicated ….so conveniently the trail was tucked away in this infantry school in Munich along with a sympathetic judge.

Hoch Bunkers in the Munich Area

In Third Reich Munich on November 7, 2008 at 5:59 pm

There are a fair few of these if you know where to look. Many are just empty a few have been converted. The interesting thing about them is that they were not large concrete edifices as found in many other German cities but made to blend in with the surroundings, with features such as tiled roofs.
