Museums (ArtBase) - Madame
Tussauds said it will repair the wax figure of Adolf Hitler beheaded
by a visitor over the weekend and return it to its new Berlin museum
as soon as possible. Last Saturday the wax figure had its head
ripped off soon after the opening of a new branch of Madame Tussauds
in Berlin on Saturday, police said
Police arrested a
41-year-old Berliner who allegedly shouted "No more war!," on
suspicion of damaging property and causing bodily harm. One of the
museum employees was slightly injured. The presence of the Nazi
dictator's likeness in the new museum led to criticism in German
media over recent weeks, but the museum said Monday that Hitler's
role in German history could not be denied. In order not to give the
impression that Hitler was in any way a figure to be revered, he
appears as a broken man in a mock-up of his bunker just before final
defeat at the end of World War II. www.madametussauds.com/berlin
