Hitler's 'Wolf Lair' hidden deep in Polish forest to be turned into major tourist attraction

[Violet_Crumble]

1. The first thing I thought of when I read yr post was the Eagles Nest....

...and the Nuremberg rally grounds. They're both major tourist attractions, but having been to both, they focus heavily on the evils of the Nazis. The latter's a museum and educates people about what National Socialism was (it's a permanent exhibition called 'Fascination and Terror'). The former (at least this is what I was told) was spared being bombed by the Allies or destroyed after the war because Hitler rarely used it, and there wasn't the heavy connection to him that'd be a magnet for neo-Nazis. Plus I'm sure I'm not the only visitor who's been struck by the obscenity of one of the most beautiful spots in the world being used as a hang-out by the Nazis....

But thinking about it, I'm opposed to any Nazi military sites being rebuilt, especially in Poland where I'm not sure that they'd take the measures the German and Austrian governments take to deter the sites becoming attractions for neo-Nazis. I don't see this one as either a memorial to the victims of the Holocaust, or educational like Nuremberg is, and it's probably best left the way it is...
