Is this a pic of a bombed out Berghof? If so it's a rare one

    I suppose you mean picture # 9. It could be and it could be almost any alpine chateau or hof.

    No, it is not. The slope was steeper than what is in the pic you are referencing, it is facing the wrong way and the building is larger than the Berghof.

    It's possibly a pic of Martin Bormann's house at the Obersalzburg. The steepness of the slope and features of the building correspond to the photo on p.19 of After The Battle #9.

    Yes, it is a photo of the Bormann Haus. I have circled the relevant features; Bormann's house, and the three trees lined in a row.
