Berchtesgaden: Hitler’s Mountain Retreat
(Yank Magazine, 1945)
A report on what Hitler’s Bavarian retreat, Berchtesgaden, looked like after the 101st Airborne got through redecorating the place.

Is it true, we asked her, that the Fuhrer chewed on rugs when he became excited?
‘Only you Americans believe such nonsense,’ she replied.
