Private World War II Walking Tour in Vienna
Overview
On March 15, 1938, from the balcony at Vienna’s Heldenplatz, or Heroes Square, infamous dictator Adolf Hitler delivered his speech announcing the Anschluss to a crowd of more than 200,000 people. Thus, Austria became part of the Third Reich, and Nazi Germany.
Travel back in time, and join our World War II expert on a 2,5 hour private walk through the inner city of Vienna, where you will learn everything about Adolf Hitler’s youth spent in Vienna, the rise of the National Socialism, the war itself, its victims and perpetrators, Hitler’s eventual downfall, and the post war years where Vienna was occupied by the Allied powers.
Stops will include (but are not limited to):
War and Fascism Memorial
State Opera
Schillerplatz
Heldenplatz
Cafe Central
Judenplatz
St. Stephen’s Cathedral
Karl Lueger Platz
