Nazi Terror Tour — A 90-minute walk through wartime Gdańsk, where the Nazi story began.
This 90‑minute Walkative! tour concentrates on Gdańsk’s fraught 20th‑century history: the city’s evolution from the Free City of Danzig into a cradle of National Socialism, the public displays of SS and SA power, and the targeted violence against Jewish and Polish residents that culminated in immense wartime losses.
