Since May 5th 1945 US war correspondents of the 101st Airborne Division filmed the invasion of Berchtesgaden and the Obersalzberg area including the Eagles Nest also called Adolf Hitlers Alpine Fortress.
They documented the last major conquest of the US-Army in order to liberate Europe.
Only few sections of this footage has been published since, everything else remained untouched in the National Archives in Washington, until they were discovered in the mid 80s by BEGAFILM & Videoproduction. This is the only known documentary containing this footage.
