Bertchesgarten is a town in Bavaria. Hitler's residence, along with Goering's and others, was part of a heavily defended SS complex located in the Obersalzburg area in the mountains above Bertchesgarten, and the Eagle's Nest was an undefended tea house on top of Kehlstein located above the Obersalzburg..The American 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Infantry Division (not to be confused with the 3rd Infantry Regiment, 7th Infantry Division that were stationed in the Pacific) got to Berchtesgaden one day prior to the 101st Airborne Division, which many people get wrong. General Dwight D. Eisenhower (later to be president) wrote in his memoirs that the 7th IR seized Berchtesgaden on May 4th, 1945. However, pressing matters forced the 7th IR to move on, leaving Berchtesgaden to the 101st Airborne, who sezied the Eagles Nest.So the answer to your question can be roughly answered by simply saying Berchtesgaden.
