Adolf Hitler tours Maribor, 1941. From the Museum of National Liberation.

Here’s a list of German-occupied cities (outside of the Reich) that Hitler visited before the end of the Second World War:

  • Paris, France
  • Strasbourg, France
  • Maribor, Yugoslavia

That’s according to this text, “Hitler’s Visit to Maribor,” which is available on the website of the Museum of National Liberation.

Hitler’s visit to Slovenia was short; his tour of Maribor lasted just a few hours. He saw the city, spoke to some local Germans, and then took the train back to Graz and onwards to Klagenfurt.

Three days after he left, Slovenes conducted their first act of sabotage. Four (long) years later, Maribor was liberated and Hitler was dead.
