"Southern Patrol"
Scenes of our time in Nürnberg
Photo left - inside the forbidden 'Gold Room' where Hitler held
receptions for important people. The gold swastikas are still inlaid in
the ceiling.
Photo right - one of the towers on which stood extremely
powerful searchlights for the nighttime part of the rallies.
Photo left - the door Hitler would come through to begin the speeches at
Zeppelnfeld. Only he was allowed to use this door.
Photo right - the
seats in the Zeppelnfeld stadium.
Photo left - the parade ground at Zeppelnfeld and we see many of the searchlight
platforms.
Photo right - a photo of what the field once looked like.
It is hanging in Hitler's suite of offices, open only to Sharkhunters.

"I had a fantastic time! My most vivid memory
was the interior of the Zeppelnfeld. It was such a wonderful tour there is
nothing we could take out."
Photo left - the stairs inside Zeppelnfeld leading up to the door only Hitler
could use.
Photo right - Cooper, Foster and Burdt on the inside of that
very special door.

Photo left - inside the Congreßhall.
Photo right - the special room in City Hall where warring nobles have met for
centuries to resolve their differences and to work out treaties. Adolf
Hitler appeared in this room many times to speak.
Photo left - the restaurant Zum Güldner Stern where we have our Nürnberger
Sausages. This place opened in 1419! That is not a mis-print - this
restaurant was open more than 70 years before Christopher Columbus set sail for
the "New World"!
Photo right is the 'Palace of Justice' and the
blue arrow points to the four large windows on the top floor, which is Room 600
where the Nürnberg Trials were held.

"I had a really good time and my most vivid memory
was Nürnberg - all of it! We must keep the 'Gold Room', the Palace of
Justice and Obersalzberg in the Patrols".
