Paratroopers Of Easy Company Chilling At Adolf Hitler’s Home
Even though the guys in the photo appear to be having a good time, it’s even better! The men of Easy Company were chilling at Adolf Hitler’s house in the Bavarian Alps when this photo was taken in 1945. This scene will be familiar to anyone who has seen the miniseries Band of Brothers. Hitler amassed a number of homes across Europe, including this one in Obersalzberg, Bavaria. It was bombed on the 25th of April, 1945. SS troops set it on fire just hours before the French 2nd Armored Division and the US 3rd Infantry Division entered through the secret tunnels. The Allies retaliated by looting the house and stealing the remaining booze!
