69. Hitler Youth in front of the Führer’s house on the Obersalzberg.

Flag-bearing Hitler Youth congregate on the road near Haus Wachenfeld as an SS man makes his way through the group towards the photographer. Looking at the house itself it is obvious that further alterations are underway; the grassed slope below the conservatory has been removed to accommodate the newly constructed garage, while a temporary workmen’s hut on the right has building materials stacked behind it. This image also shows the new drive on this side of the property. The introduction of the new drive provided vehicular access to Haus Wachenfeld making the original small footpath seen in postcard number 62 virtually redundant thereafter.
