Shrine no more: Bones of Hitler aide exhumed
Reuters:
The remains of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s deputy Rudolf Hess have been exhumed from a grave in Bavaria after it became a pilgrimage for thousands of right-wing extremists.
A church official in the southern town of Wunsiedel said Thursday the tomb had been razed and its headstone removed after consulting with Hess’s family over how to handle the grave site.
“The bones were removed and brought to the crematorium, and the ashes are to be scattered at sea,” Peter Seisser said.
I don’t really have anything to add to this. Apparently five thousand people gathered in Wunsiedel in 2004.
