Wouldn’t it still have to comply with firearm import laws?
And DC’s draconian firearms laws?
From what I was told by a friend serving over there, it’s to prevent troops from getting killed by booby traps. You see some shiny thing which would look nice in the living room and when you pick it up, the attached grenade goes off.
Also, it’s hard to draw the line where “taking war trophies” stops and “looting” starts.
Hitler committed suicide by drinking poison, after which his body (and Eva’s, who died the same way) was covered in gasoline and almost completely incinerated. I doubt there was much of a skull left, and certainly no exit wound.
Actually, he drank poison AND shot himself. Also, they didn’t have enough gasoline to burn him up completely, especially as he was being burnt in the open, rather than in a crematorium. Hugh Trevor-Roper suggests that the Soviets recovered the remains later.
As long as the fucker died, I don’t care if it was from swallowing batshit.
I assumed that the firearm would have been disabled. This may or may not have been a good assumption.
The Russians not only found Hitler’s body, they performed an autopsy. That’s how they discovered that he had only one nut.
Cecil on the subject
Interesting. Guess I was only half-listening to that History Channel documentary on his death.
Who wouldn’t?!?! 
Shit, I hope it was recently. Considering the sword, flags, window curtain and table cloth my grandfather left me, the German’s would be pissed!!!
Don’t worry; if it’s about Hitler, it’ll be on the History Channel again sometime soon.
