Hitler Visits His Past - Austrian Childhood Homes

On 12 March 1938, Anschluss or union between Germany and Austria occurred. Hitler decided to pay a visit to his childhood homes and school and drove into Austria at the head of a large convoy of SS bodyguards and members of his staff and inner circle. Beginning at Braun, where he was born, the tour ended in Vienna two days later. The places Hitler visited in 1938 are little changed in 2024.
