The castle at the centre of Nazi terror – BBC REEL

During WW2, German SS leader Heinrich Himmler attempted to turn a Renaissance castle into a headquarters for the Nazis' major paramilitary organisation. Dubbed the 'Centre of the World' by Himmler and the SS, plans for a vast redesign of Wewelsburg Castle were drawn up. The work was carried out by the prisoners from an on-site concentration camp but not completed. Today, the castle is a carefully curated museum designed to inform new generations about the castle's history and the horrendous ideology of the SS. It's also a memorial to those who were interred there. Video by Next Stop Stories - - - - Subscribe to BBC Reel: https://www.youtube.com/c/bbcreel?sub...
