Our tour guide Josh provided densely packed, fact-based context for our tour. He also struck us as having a genuine interest in promoting the truth. He is passionnate about standing up to autocracy and his character is a good example of what is needed to educate the global citizenry so the horrors of the 3rd Reich are not repeated. Thank you Josh for the informative tour.

Full description

Take a 2,5 - 3-hour walking tour of Munich to discover one of the darkest moments in the city’s history, learning of the birth of Nazism, the rise of Hitler, and the infamous Third Reich.
In 1919, Germany was emerging from World War I as a defeated and humiliated nation, with Munich in the grips of hyperinflation and Bavaria dominated by revolution and assassination. Out of this fertile soil of chaos rose the Nazi movement, and one of history’s most powerful dictators, Adolf Hitler.
Follow the inception of Nazism, from the first mass meeting at the Hofbräuhaus to the failed attempt to seize power at the Feldherrnhalle. You will go to the site of party rallies at Königsplatz, and stop in the Hofgarten to talk about The White Rose Resistance Movement.
The tour covers all the important facts and sites that played a role in the origin of this dark chapter, which ended with the beautiful city of Munich in ruins and the second world war cutting deep wounds across Deutschland.

The tour was AMAZING. Josh knew everything about the rise of the Nazi party, told detailed stories, and personified history in a way that helped us understand perspectives of many. He had pictures, too, that really helped us connect the places we were with history.
