Granted author was but 11 at war's end, so viewpoint is that of a child. It's still surprising Berchtesgaden was apparently not fanatically Nazi. Inundated by the Nazi elite, yet also somewhat isolated from its worst philosophies.

Tho her parents supported Hitler, her mom scolded her for teasing Jewish kids, rare in the region. She joined but stopped attending BDM out of boredom. Is this "I wasn't really a Nazi?"

Here's an aspect most rarely think about following this WW2: "twelve to thirteen million Germans who were forcefully expelled from...the east". Granted, some had taken advantage of Lebensraum policies, but some families had been there for generations. Some of refugees ended up in Berchtesgaden and Irmgard, through the church, made an effort to help them despite lacking resources.
