From there on, members of the inner circle also built their houses in the immediate vicinity of the “Berghof”. The increasingly frequent stays of Hitler on the Obersalzberg required higher security measures. To finance the extensive accommodations on the Obersalzberg, Bormann set up the Adolf Hitler Fund of German Trade and Industry which collected money from German industrialists on Hitler's behalf. Bormann commissioned the construction of barracks for the SS guards, roads and footpaths, garages for motor vehicles, a guesthouse, accommodation for staff, and many other amenities. Retaining title in his own name, Bormann bought up adjacent farms until the entire complex covered 10 square kilometres (3.9 sq mi) Have fun watching and thanks for your support! #begafilm #History in motion #WW2
