[edit] Comments

Is this more or less a normal globe, or was it produced to represent the extent of the Reich's Empire or something like this, either the short-lived political/geographic situation of the time, or the potential future situation which Hitler may have envisioned but never achieved?

It was a globe designed in the Axis perspective of the world (hence replacing Ethiopia with Mussolini's Italian East Africa). It was also symbolic of Hitler's megalomaniacal attempt at trying to conquer the world.--TBC!?! 13:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Where did John Barsamia find the globe

a) among the ruins of the "Eagle's Nest" ("Adlerhorst") near Bad Nauheim, a city in central Germany about 35 km north of Frankfurt/M. and nowhere near the Alps, or

b) at the "Kehlsteinhaus" near Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps?

Both were taken by US forces - (Elvis Presley later served in Bad Nauheim).

In my opinion, the article is written in a rather "woolly" manner and should be completely revised.

[edit] Map

I'm really interested in the image on the globe. Is there an appropriate picture of Wikipedia article that shows how the globe depicted the world? 69.129.145.210 (talk) 09:57, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
