Cops in Germany have discovered this altar to Hitler at the home of a man who drunk-dialled them.

Pjero B., whose full surname was not reported due to strict local privacy laws, called the police for help this week with the staff member who took his call noting he sounded confused.

Personnel from the Glauchau police station in the German state of Saxony went to his apartment on Georgstrasse in the town of Limbach-Oberfrohna, where they came across a scene they had not been expecting at all.

They found that the 53-year-old man was not in any difficulty or trouble but was just, in fact, extremely drunk.

More curiously, however, they found an altar dedicated to Adolf Hitler in his flat.

A photo of the scene shows how the improvised altar is crowned by three photos of the fuehrer, with the highest-placed photo showing the former fascist leader giving the Nazi salute

The officers also found an arsenal of weapons consisting of an ammunition belt, a cudgel, a sword cane, three knuckledusters (two of which had blades attached), a butterfly knife and two cleavers.

The officers seized the weapons and the Nazi memorabilia without the suspect, who lives alone, putting up any resistance.

The origin of the weapons is under investigation, and the police noted that the suspect behaved “reasonably” and has no prior criminal record.

The suspect, who was not taken into custody, later told reporters from German daily Bild that he had not been planning to carry out any acts of violence with the weapons.

The Zwickau public prosecutor’s office is overseeing the investigation.

Illegally displaying Nazi symbols in Germany can be punished by up to three years in jail.
