"Adolf Hitler has left us - after a very short visit," concluded Die Welt am Sonntag after an attack on a wax figure of the Nazi leader left the dictator headless and many Germans gleeful.

Less than three minutes after the doors of Berlin's new Madame Tussauds waxwork opened to the public on Saturday, the �200,000 (�158,000) figure of Hitler had been decapitated by a former policeman.

The assailant, a 41-year-old self-professed leftwing activist identified only as Frank L, who was second in the queue for the museum, was being hailed as a national hero last night after witnesses described how he ran past guards and leapt on to the figure, ripping off its head while repeatedly shouting: "No more war!"

"Seventy-five years after he seized power, and 63 years after the end of the Third Reich, finally someone has succeeded in assassinating Adolf Hitler," wrote the essayist Henryk M Broder in Der Spiegel. "It's good news - the bad news is it happened rather too late."

Didn't Maggie get the same treatment a few years ago, or was that a statue not a wax work?

Running, leaping, shouting, vandalizing -- nay decapitating -- an art exhibit's head. No doubt the far left's good work. I imagine Frank L's eyes were wild-eyed when he perpetrated this, too.

Far left.

Sorry, JMO. Upon reviewing the article, I stand corrected. Not "far left." Rather, "self-professed leftwing activist." Clearly, a world of difference.

Since this act was committed by the second person in line, I have to wonder if the guy who was first in line was a Far Right guy, busy kneeling down to worship Hitler, thus making him incapable of protecting the wax statue from the leftist.

Well, if he was, and he certainly well could have been, he failed to save his master from the assassin.

This is going too far. Cool

What is going too far? the self-professed leftwing activist identified only as Frank L's vandalism? or my saying "far left" every second post to test whether it might soon lose its meaning?

A little more to the left and I'd be kissing the sheets dear.

I have no idea what it even means any more. doesn't far left mean like someone whos for the death penalty but only people over 18..those pinkos?

Time to think of something even more extreme because it now just seems so bland, so middle.

god forbid, you be without your crutch for future posts.
