Germany: Germans give Hitler actor a warm welcome


Via Reuters:
A German actor who dressed up as Adolf Hitler and traveled through the country for four weeks chatting to smiling voters and stroking their pets for a film that opens this week says he was shocked by the warm welcome he received.

(...)
The film's director and lead actor said that the time spent touring Germany, shooting footage that has been incorporated into the movie, had opened their eyes and that they had witnessed a shift to the right in attitudes.

"How can it be that so many people react positively to Hitler, accept him?" director David Wnendt told Germany's ARD television.
The film shows actor Oliver Masucci, complete with Hitler's trademark moustache, mingling among crowds of smiling people, shaking their hands, posing for photos with firemen and even tickling pet dogs and goats.

"People quickly forgot that the cameras were rolling and started talking to the man, to open up to him," said Masucci.
