The View From Hitler's Desk

Another view of one of Hitler's many offices in his many residences throughout Europe -- this one the 1,200-square-foot room in the New Chancellery where the Fuhrer worked, strategized, and plotted with fellow Nazis and generals. "In starting and waging a war," he argued, "it is not right that matters, but victory."
