It was easy as all we had to do was to meet the guide and he led us through the very thorough tour. Hein was so well versed and gave enough information but didn't overdo it. We wouldn't have been able to get this much out of it on our own.

The information from our guide gave me a new perspective of what actually happened in Germany that was actually completely legal for the laws at the time.
