Adolf Hitler [antikvár]

Hitler, Nazism and the Third Reich are three 20th-century realities that will never fail to intrigue us. Virtually every day the media reports and comments on the events, stories and persons related to Nazism. Recently a sensational discovery was made in Munich - what the world press has described as "Hitler's treasure": approximately 1500 works of art, including paintings by such masters as Picasso, Matisse, Renoir and Chagall, which were hidden in an apartment belonging to the 80 year-old son of an art dealer who had bought the works that high-ranking Nazi officials had confiscated from fewish families or from museums in Nazi-occupied Europe during the war. These artworks are worth 1 billion euro. Again, various European countries, from Greece to Norway, have witnessed the rise of extremist right-wing organizations (the one in Athens is called Golden Dawn) that quite openly exhibit their nostalgia and admiration for Hitler's policies. In Italy as well, the 2013 death of former SS captain Erich Priebke — one of those responsible for the execution (known as the Adreatine Cave reprisal) of335persons as retaliation for a partisan attack against the German troops in Italy - triggered violent, often excessive polemics from both those who continued to justify the Nazi reprisal and those Adolf Hitler in 1936, the year that sealed the fate of Germany (and Europe) after the > signing of the Pact of Steel with Fascist Italy and the Anti-Comintern Pact with fapan.
