On July 14, 1944, Hitler left the Obersalzberg and moved to his headquarters in Rastenburg in East Prussia. He is reported to have said, "I will either come back victorious or I will never see the mountain again."
In the US.Army attack order, the attack target was defined as follows:
Target A: Eagle's Nest on the Ober Kehl Alp (Kehlsteinhaus).
Target B: Wachenfels at the village of Obersalzberg.
Target A is at 2 miles South East if Berchtesgaden.
Target B is 2 miles East of Berchtesgaden.
25 April 1945 at 9:35 a.m. 380 Lancaster bombers of the Royal Airforce launched a 3-hour attack on the Obersalzberg.
Many of Hitler's art treasures were found in the bunkers. The Kehlsteinhaus remained largely unscathed thanks to its remote location. Almost the entire inventory was looted by the American soldiers. When the Americans returned the Obersalzberg to the Bavarian state in 1948, they made the demolition of the ruins of the Nazi grandeur a condition. In 1952, the ruins of the Berghof and the houses of Göring and Bormann were blown up and removed.
