Pomeranian Voivodeship, Germany On 24.4. 1936 Adolf Hitler simultaneously opened the three Ordensburgen Krossinsee in Pomerania, Vogelsang in the Eifel and Sonthofen in the Allgaeu, that had been erected as training centers for future command personnel (cadres) of the Nazi Party. The picture shows the meeting room at Castle Kroessinsee that was festively decorated for the opening ceremony, where Adolf Hitler shortly thereafter gave his speech televised live in the other two Ordensburgen. The hall - originally a gymnasium - was only temporary used as a meeting room.
