Gadling - Would you spend $3100 to tour sites only associated with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler? One British tour group put together a trip that does just that, and is under fire by critics over the distasteful offering. The tour includes more than just visiting a few concentration camps, which is common on many other tour groups through Germany. The concentration camps, which for many are a must-see when in Germany, are a significant part of history. But can you say the same for Hitler's lakeside villa where he planned the Sachsenhausen concentration camp? That's one stop on the Hitler tour, along with the spot where Hitler committed suicide.
So here's a question, do the police agencies in Europe just take down the information of everyone who goes on this vacation and keep tabs on them for later, or do they arrest you mid vacation to prevent you from launching your hate crime career fresh off your genocidal inspiration tour? Because there are precisely three types of people who are going to take this tour. 1) Wanna be historians, 2) Weirdos with a serious morbidity problem, 3)Skin-heads and neo-nazi entrepreneurs.
Funny thing is, I was just openly wondering how long it would take for Adolf to become an acceptable name again. Like another 50-100 years? Is that reasonable (yes these are the kinds of things I wonder about while in the shower)?
