Under Hitler, Munich was the capital of the Nazi movement. From 1931, the Nazi Party made the city its administrative center, and the Führer had a private residence here up to 1945. The SS was founded in the Bavarian capital, and from here spread its reign of terror across the whole of the German Reich. Munich, just like Berlin, was to be rebuilt according to Hitler's ideas with wide boulevards and buildings of monumental grandeur.
