History school trips to Munich
Give your history students an unforgettable experience with our unique school trip to Munich. By visiting sites that played a major role in the development of WWII you can illustrate to your students the rise of several far right political groups, culminating in Adolf Hitler joining the German Workers’ Party and its subsequent transformation into the Nazi Party. Give your group the first-hand experience of the Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s summer residence, before giving them an insight into the atmosphere that surrounded Nazi Rallies at Nuremburg. A trip to Dachau Concentration Camp gives your students the ability to pay respects to those who lost their lives here so tragically.
