An angry Berliner fought off guards and beheaded a life-sized waxwork of Adolf Hitler only minutes after the Nazi dictator’s model went on public display at a newly opened branch of Madame Tussauds in the city.
Police said the attacker, a 41-year-old German man, walked up to the figure of Hitler who was depicted looking downcast and sitting morosely at a table his Berlin bunker, and first appeared to wrestle with the waxwork.
Berhard Schrodowski, a Berlin police spokesman added: “The museum guards tried to restrain him, but he fought them off and then tore off the waxwork figure’s head. Afterwards several visitors to the exhibition managed to restrain him,” he added.
Police were called to the museum and the man was arrested shortly afterwards. Police said he would be charged with causing wilful damage to property.
I say we need to go to Berlin ASAP to see headless Hitler…
