Tourists can’t get enough of Adolf Hitler tours in Munich, where the dictator nurtured his Nazi Party .The guided walking tours include sites, which had significance in Hitler’s life like where he gave his first public speech upstairs at the world-famous Hofbraeuhaus beer hall in 1918. Close by in the Schwabing district is a pub, the Schellingsalon, where Hitler liked to drink and often did not pay the bill.Though he was born in Braunau, Austria, Hitler made Munich his home in 1913, before the First World War. Most of the visitors also visit the Dachau concentration camp memorial on the outskirts of Munich. The tour begins at the Marienplatz, and continues to Koenigsplatz, site of the old Nazi Party headquarters and a rally site, taking in the Hofbraeuhaus, where Hitler founded the Nazi party in 1920. In 1923, Hitler and his supporters marched to the city’s landmark Feldherrnhalle, in an unsuccessful attempt to seize power, the Putsch. That beer hall was torn down decades ago, but the tourists can see where the Nazi Party affixed a plaque on the Feldherrnhalle to commemorate the Nazi men killed when police put the coup down. Inside a palace built for Hitler overlooking the Koenigsplatz, the tourists look stunned at the imposing red-marble staircase. These tours are popular mostly among foreign tourists as the Nazi period rouses such agony among modern Germans that few would care to do a Nazi-sites walk as part of a holiday package. — DPA
