Private Nazi Bunker Hotel Defies German Authorities

Neo-nazis have found a loophole in the German laws, allowing them to create a shrine from a hotel built around one of Hitler’s bunkers:

Obersalzberg near Berchtesgaden, located in Bavaria near the Austrian border, became Hitler’s holiday retreat in 1923. It was expanded after 1933, becoming a second seat of government along with Berlin under the Nazi regime.

The hotel “Zum Türken” and adjoining bunker were once the quarters for Hitler’s personal security staff and bodyguards from the Sicherheitsdienst des Reichsführers (SD). Visitors to the bunker can view SD detention cells and shooting ranges.

“The problem is that a relic of the Third Reich is privately owned and commercially marketed by the owner.”

Funny thing about fascists, perhaps due to want of corporatism, is they always seem to know how to manipulate the private sector to undermine rule of law for profit.
