Austrian flap over bell dedicated to Hitler 
Sunday, Jul 28, 2013 11:19 AM PDT
This Oct. 21, 2004 photo shows a bell with Adolf Hitler's name on it in the castle of Wolfpassing, Austria. Ensconced in the belfry of an ancient castle where it was mounted by fans of the Nazi dictator in 1939, the bell has tolled on for nearly 80 years. It survived the defeat of Hitler's Germany, a decade of post-war Soviet occupation that saw Red Army soldiers bivouacked in the castle and more recent efforts by Austrian government to acknowledge the country's complicity in crimes of that era and make amends. (AP Photo/Hannes Kammerstaetter)Like many others in Austria's countryside, a tower bell above the red-tiled rooftops of Wolfpassing village marks the passing of each hour with an unspectacular "bong." But this bell is unique: It is embossed with a swastika and praise to Adolf Hitler.
