Berchtesgaden is a small town in the Bavarian mountains, located in the south of Salzburg. Hitler had a family house here, and on top of an 8,ooo foot hill there was a stone building known as Aldershoust, or Eagle's Nest. Because the road is so well built, the car can be driven to a few hundred feet away from the Eagle's Nest. There is a lift to the center of the mountain, from where you can take an elevator to the Eagle's Nest, whose walls are decorated with gold leaf.

Berchtesgaden was an attractive magnet for all troops in southern Germany, Austria and northern Italy. It was in Berchtesgaden that the Nazi supreme leaders gathered around their meta. Nazi leader Martin? Bowman, Herman? Goering and Albert? Speer's residence, SS base, protocol and underground bunkers, many Berlin officials were relocated to Berchtesgaden, and a small airfield was built under the valley for the movement of large machinery. Many of the loot looted by the Nazis from various European countries were stored in Berchtesgaden. The place was full of money, gold, currency in circulation in various countries, and precious works of art, of which Goering alone had a collection of five Rembrandt, one Van? Gao and a work by Renoir, as well as works by many other artists. There are countless wines, treasures and luxury cars here. Therefore, Berchtesgaden attracts everyone's attention like a huge magnet, as well as their **. This is the symbol of Hitler's crazy power, and the conquest of this place is equivalent to the complete subjugation of Hitler's Nazis, and the symbolic meaning is huge, which is self-evident. And the treasures that the Nazis collected from all over Europe were piled up here. That's what everyone wants to get here. Now the French are marching side by side with the 1o1st Division, the British are coming from Italy, and the Germans are anxious to get their possessions back, and every American in Europe is equally eager to get into this place.

On 3 May, Colonel Zinke received an order for the 5o6 regiment to be ready for departure at 9:30 the next day, with the target being Berchtesgaden. On 4 May, a convoy of the 1O1 Division, led by the 2nd Battalion, marched south along the high road between Munich and Salzburg, passing Rosenheim and Chiemsee. They turned right in Segesdorf onto the high road to Berchtesgaden. Just about 14 kilometers after the brethren ran into the tail of the French 2nd Panzer Division led by General Leclerc.

The American soldiers generally did not have a favorable opinion of the French. Because the greed shown by these French people disgusted them. They grab wherever they go. Usually a few truckloads of stuff are sent back to France. Now they salivate over Berchtesgaden. After entering the mountain, I drove south for another hour, but I was blocked by a broken bridge, and under the bridge was a deep canyon. They had no equipment to build bridges, and some SS diehards defended the south bank of the gorge with automatic weapons and mortars.

The other brethren of the 2nd Battalion stood mixed with the French, waiting for the engineering troops of the 1O1 Division while watching the exchange of fire far from each other, and such a battle was clearly of no avail.

"I think we should go back and get back on the road, and the flanking barricades might succeed and get to Berchtesgaden." Parks knew that there was a road that would lead the E-Company directly to Berchtesgaden. In fact, they do the same. Only now it was brought up by Parks, not Colonel Zink.

"Yes, I'm going to report to Zinck." Winters looked at the French ** team not far away, frowned, and said, "I can't get used to the greedy faces of these Frenchmen" Colonel Zink quickly agreed to their request.

Major Winters led the brethren in the battalion back to the road and then eastward to Bad Reichenhall, led by Company E, and the brethren of the 2nd Battalion reached Berchtesgaden without any resistance, and finally captured the town without firing a single shot. The food, the wine, the mansion all make the brothers of e-Link feel like paradise. It is full of lush forests, snow-capped mountain tops, glacial lakes and salt springs with nascent blue waters, and luxurious residences. Ancient churches, monasteries, castles, and summer palaces are as if they were in the depths of the Middle Ages.

"We'll have to help the Colonel find a place to stay." Winters and Major Parkes of the battalion headquarters, as well as Nexon and Wales, sat in the jeep, and Parkes drove the jeep, looked at the front and smiled, "Look, what's the place ahead?" Berchtesgaden Hostel, it's a great place. "The jeep stopped and was in front of the hostel.

"Captain Haliger," Parks shouted, and then saw Captain Halig trotting over, "Let the brothers stop here, we need to arrange camping." Halig took the order and left. Then Major Winters and the other four walked towards the hotel.

With the coat of arms of the German Nazi Party hanging from the door of the hotel with a large vertical strip, Parks glanced at Winters, then shrugged his shoulders and smiled. Now this place is no longer a gathering place for Nazis. They are possessors in the present tense and also victors.

The Berchtesgaden Lodge shows the usual luxury and extravagance of the German Nazis. It's just that it's more amazing than any other place. A waiter was packing up the hotel's registration book at the counter, and the intrusion of Winters and others made him panic, and he was about to roll up the registration book and leave, but Nickerson stopped him, he pointed a pistol at the waiter, and left the registration book. He flipped through it casually, and now all of them were registered here by some important figures of the German Nazis, as well as some foreign dignitaries, including British Prime Minister Neville? Neville Chamberlain, former British Prime Minister David? Lloyd's? George, King Carol II of Romania and other state guests. This gave Nickerson a treasure trove of little interest in jewelry, which was very memorable.

Winters, Wales and Parks all acted separately. They went into every hall or room to inspect it, trying to uncover something precious.

A huge ballroom with tables covered in crisp white silky cloths and even crystal clear glass wine glasses on top. A waiter is placing a large set of silver cutlery into a 4-foot-long, velvet-lined box. He saw two beautiful ** men walking in with weapons, and fled through the side door in a panic.

"God" Wales rushed up and couldn't help but be overjoyed to see the shiny silver cutlery in the box. "Betty is going to love this. How many brides were able to receive a congratulatory gift from Hitler? He whistled.

His exclamation attracted Major Winters, who walked towards the Captain of Wales. Stretched out his hand and picked up a silver table knife, the light shone into his eyes, to be honest, these things made him very excited.

"Do you want to take half of it? I can't take it all," Wales smirked at him, "You know whoever comes in after us will take what wasn't nailed."

"Uh-huh," Winters smiled and nodded, "I don't want them to have this chance," he said, taking off his helmet and taking the silver cutlery out of the box and putting it in his helmet.

At this time, Captain Haliger and Captain Spierre walked in through the other side door, and then Spierr saw the shining silver cutlery in Captain Wales's hand, and couldn't help but walk over quickly, and said, "Good things," and stretched out his hand to get some.

The Welsh captain quickly grabbed his hand and said, "No, no, don't even think about it." It's for me and Dick, and you'll have to find something else. ”

"Okay, okay," Captain Spiel retracted his hand in embarrassment. Then go to other goals. There's a lot of good stuff waiting for him to get his hands on.

When the cutlery was distributed, Winters said to the Welsh Captain, "Harry, tell Company F to reinforce the guards of the hotel and set up a barricade at the west entrance of the city so that those French bastards don't enter here." We're going to set up a battalion headquarters here. Then prepare to accept prisoners of war. After saying that, he looked at Wales who was leaving, and said, "Also, Harry, don't get anyone hurt." Now we don't have to."

Watching Harry leave, Winters smiled at Captain Haliger, who was looking forward to it, and said, "Company E went up the hill from Obo Salsburg to capture the Eagle's Nest. ”

This sentence immediately made Halig excited, and he and Spiel both smiled all over their faces, and then gave a military salute to Winters. That's a huge difference between the pros and the bottom. The benefits of capturing the Eagle's Nest are undeniable, and it will forever etch the name of Company E in the history of World War II. And the officers and men of Company E will be famous all over the world because of this. And in this arrangement, Major Winters is mostly selfish. He took care of Company E far more than the other German companies in the 2nd Battalion.

Major Parks entered the hotel alone, and he searched up the stairs of the hotel. He also had little interest in some silverware and other tableware, he was looking for something of historical value that could be treasured. It was for this purpose that he soon found in a safe in the hotel's largest conference room a transcript of meetings between Hitler and senior Nazi officials who had met with senior Nazi officials and foreign dignitaries.

Of course, there is something more important, and there may be a major presence in the residences of the high-ranking Nazi officials. Although these homes may have been taken by those people in advance, there may be leaks. Of course, Major Parks preferred to find something of artistic value, such as the works of art in Goering's house.

It's a big loot. Everyone in the 2nd Battalion, including Company E, took part in the robbery of Berchtesgaden, scavenging as much valuable as they could, and then packing it up for shipment back home
