Blutorden
Under the Nazis in Third Reich Germany the city of München (Munich) underwent vast renovations and expansions. München was known as die Hauptstadt der Bewegung or the Capital of the Nazi Movement, and enormous sums were spent to make it one of the most beautiful cities in all of Grossdeutschland. The old north-side airport Oberwiesenfeld was considered too small and too dangerous and a huge new airport was built at Riem. The Führerbau and the NSDAP Verwaltungsbau took their place on the Königsplatz along with much older structures.
