Two historical relics recovered by a local resident from Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat the Berghof at Obersalzberg.The first is a recovered piece of shrapnel from a bomb that destroyed Hitler’s Berghof at the end of the war, the second relic is a document from the SS-Commander Obersalzberg found inside the ‘command tunnel’ of Martin Bormann’s bunker at Obersalzberg. The document ‘Empfangsschein’ [Receipt] was found during the filming of a documentary about the bunker of Reichsleiter Martin Bormann on the Obersalzberg. It was found in the ‘Command – Tunnel’ which was part of Bormann’s bunker and housed the Obersalzberg command center.’ The document recovered in Bormann’s bunker is a receipt or ‘Empfangsschein’ stamped at the top ‘SS-Kommandant, Obersalzberg 15. Juli 1944’, it is signed in pencil at the bottom and dated 15.7.44. This document and other items are illustrated in the book ‘Inside Hitler’s Mountain – The book is a fascinating work about the history of the Obersalzberg.
