Obersalzberg Documentation |
 | | Obersalzberg was a "Taeterort" in two senses of the word: This is where a small number of people devised, discussed and planned crimes of the greatest magnitude, crimes that were to be committed elsewhere. |
 | | Accordingly, at the Dokumentation Obersalzberg attention was focused primarily on the perpetrators, but not just on their visible daily lives in Obersalzberg, but rather, and indeed primarily, also on their behind-the-scenes actions, their entire thinking and their actions that led to the genocide and the catastrophe of World War II. |
 | | Obersalzberg was not only a center from which power was exercised, it was also a political arena for the Cult of Hitler, through which the "Fuehrer" Myth – legitimizing Hitler's personal dictatorship - was continually nurtured. |
