German with Hitler ringtone faces jail term


Updated at: 1541 PST, Thursday, July 01, 2010
BERLIN: A German man who had a speech by Adolf Hitler as his ring tone and a picture of the Nazi dictator in front of a swastika on his mobile phone could face up to three years in jail, police said on Thursday.

Authorities seized the 54-year-old's phone at Harburg station on Tuesday, near the northern city of Hamburg, after fellow train passengers shocked by the sound of Hitler screaming alerted police.

"It was an original speech by Adolf Hitler which ended with the phrase 'Sieg Heil'," police spokesman Ruediger Carstens told foreign news agency, adding: "He also had a photo of Hitler standing in front of a swastika."

Police have handed the case over to prosecutors. Under German law, the man could face up to three years in prison or a fine, the police spokesman added. The public display of Nazi symbols like the swastika have been banned in Germany since the end of World War II.

====================

Free speech? :undecided:

The shadow cast by Nazism upon Europeans was very black indeed. I suppose most don't want to have anything to do with Nazism any more. They neither want to see the Nazi tyranny rise again nor be reminded of the time it did; and they remember that the Nazis abused freedom of speech to drown out all other voices.

So for the Europeans, anti-Nazi laws makes them feel that they are asserting their own freedom from tyranny. Everyone felt they were necessary immediately after WWII. I expect that within another generation these laws will be repealed.
