From reading the history of the site as recorded by local historians. the first Allied unit to take the Obersalzberg site was elements of the French 2nd Armoured Division followed closely by the US 3rd Infantry Division As soon as the US 3rd Infantry Division arrived on the Obersalzberg, the French withdrew in accordance with the laid down Allied occupational plan that the area would be within the US Occupational Zone
#12 all good stuff around that area Richard 111 's jail when Blondin found him..... Historical Error It was in fact Richard the Lionheart and Blondel the Minstrel.
