Man rips head from Hitler figure at Madame Tussauds
A man has ripped off the head of a wax figure of Adolf Hitler at Madame Tussauds’ newly opened branch in the German capital Berlin, police said today.
A police statement said the man, 41, tore off the head of the figure shortly after the museum opened to the public today.
They say officers were alerted and the man arrested.
The presence of the Nazi dictator’s figure in the new museum led to criticism in German media over recent weeks. Defenders of the plan argued Hitler’s role in German history could not be ignored.
