Hitler's abandoned Nazi resort: luxury getaway

Three years before Germany invaded Poland in 1939, Adolf Hitler ordered the construction of the world's largest tourist resort, located on a beachfront property on the island of Rügen.

While the Nazi police state was in development, the overarching German vision was a hopeful one, Moorhouse tells us.. "And this is where something like Prora comes in."

The Nazis called it Prora. Capable of holding more than

20,000 residents at a single time, Prora was meant

to comfort the weary German worker who toiled away

in a factory without respite.

While the Nazi police state was in development, the overarching German vision was a hopeful one, Moorhouse tells us.. "And this is where something like Prora comes in."

According to historian and tour guide Roger Moorhouse,

it was also meant to serve as the carrot to the stick of the

Gestapo — a pacifying gesture to get the German people on

Hitler's side.
