Nazi-Occupied Paris–Volume One, Volume Two and Volume Three
Volume 1 available now!
Volume 2 coming in 2025!
Volume 3 coming in 2026!
Although World War II and the German occupation of Paris occurred more than 75 years ago, these historical events are still fresh in our minds. While the Nazi occupation of Paris started out rather benignly in June 1940, within two years the city and its citizens were firmly in the grip of the tightening Nazi vise. You will visit the buildings, places, and sites that were significant to the German occupation between June 1940 and August 1944. By the end of the first day of occupation (14 June) it was clear the Germans knew their way around Paris. Almost overnight every German military, administrative, and political entity had moved into their new quarters. Subsequent to Hitler’s election in 1933, the pre-war German Abwehr (intelligence) in Paris had clearly mapped out potential sites to be requisitioned for an eventual occupation. READ MORE

Nazi Berlin
Where Did They Put Führerbunker? A Walking Tour of Nazi Berlin (1933 – 1945)
The Treaty of Versailles imposed severe economic, military, and territorial burdens on Germany after World War I. The Weimar Republic was unpopular and blamed for many problems including hyper-inflation. On 30 January 1933, a former Austrian corporal, Adolf hitler, was appointed as chancellor. Berlin was rapidly transformed into the capitol city for the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or simply, The Nazi Party. You will visit the buildings, sites, and places that were significant to the Nazis and these Third Reich. Although Berlin was severely damaged by Allied bombs and the Soviet army, there are many places to visit including Wilhelmstrasse, the original Reich Aviation Ministry, the “Topography of Terror”, the memorial to those murdered under the Nazi euthanasia program, Bebelplatz where more than 20,000 books were bused one night, the New Synagogue (one of only a handful of Berlin synagogues to survive Kristallnacht), and of course, the site of the former Führerbunker.

Curious Paris Cemeteries–Coming Soon!
Several of the overlooked Paris “attractions” includes the city’s public and private cemeteries (there are only two private ones). While Père Lachaise is by far the most famous Parisian cemetery, it is not the only interesting and curious cemetery to walk through. There are several reasons why visitors never experience these walks. The primary one is the limited time they have in the city and since there are so many priority sites to see, their itinerary can’t fit in a visit to a cemetery. I’ll take you for walks through some of the more curious Paris cemeteries—not just Père Lachaise. What you’ll like are the stories behind the occupants. READ MORE
