The most controversial figure here is the waxen likeness of Adolf Hitler, depicted as a beaten man hunkered in a bunker during his final days as Soviet troops closed in. On opening day in 2008, a local visitor attacked the figure and ripped off its head, not in protest, it turned out, but to fulfill a beer bet.
