Berlin readies for Hitler exhibition

The personality cult surrounding German wartime leader Adolf Hitler is the focus of a new exhibition in Berlin - but not everyone wants to visit.

In Berlin, an exhibition is opening that explores the personality cult that grew up around Adolf Hitler.

But in a country that has taken strides in attempting to distance itself from its Nazi past, the move has not gone down without controversy.

It's the first time relics of the Nazi era have ever been displayed in this way. Fears that such an exhibition might attract neo-nazi sympathisers have prevented it until now, but Berlin is also a hot bed of relatively extreme left-wing activism.
