Eagle’s Nest Kehlsteinhaus Band of Brothers

[Johnny St.Pete @JohnMcCloy]

🔥 TRUE STORY. THE EAGLE’S NEST SCENE FROM BAND OF BROTHERS.

Dick Winters and Easy Company rolled into The Eagle’s Nest on May 5, 1945 JUST THREE DAYS before Germany formally surrendered in WWII.

They had just come from Kaufering concentration camp. After fighting from Normandy to Bastogne… this was the first time they could actually let off steam.

They found Göring’s massive wine cellar (10,000+ bottles of top-shelf Bordeaux… champagne…. and cognac and drank it while sitting at Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest as the war in Europe ended.

VE Day was May 8. They spent it overlooking the Alps finishing off the Nazi leadership’s private stock.

The destruction today of that symbolic architectural masterpiece was as much an attack on the legacy of many our American troops who FINALLY were able to see the blood of their friends had shed for FREEDOM come to conclusion ATOP THAT MOUNTAIN.
