Arrived in Nuremberg by early afternoon as flight arrived early and again flew thru customs and baggage....but I was tired because I do not sleep on planes. But that did not stop me as I went out to see sites immediately. Of course with my history focus I headed to the Documentation Center in the old Nazi Congress Hall and parade ground area. The place is enormous and pics just do not do it justice. This was area made so famous in all the videos of the Nuremberg rallies and speeches. Only parts are still visible and all have been repurposed as outdoor spaces. The Documentation Center is really very good and quite thorough about rise and power of Hitler and his party. Interesting most of folks there visiting were Germans including several large tour groups and they seemed riveted and focused on everything. A few American teenage girls with their family quickly grew tired. I was interested in how it was presented in German and whst included and they had it all...specially the creation of "cult of Hitler" and how that happened....it was a good warning!
Btw Germsan presentations on the history of WWII are all valked Dokumentation Centers now...to document what really happened.
