Just outside the Chicago sprawl, Walworth County, Wisconsin is best known for its Lake Geneva Resort area and as the place where blues-rock guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was killed in a helicopter crash.
Unwanted attention is being brought to Walworth County, as retired farmer and former Waffen SS paratrooper Theo Junker is readying his Adolf Hitler shrine for its June 25 grand opening.
(Note, June 15: CBS 2 Chicago pullued the original story, replacing it with a new one reporting the shrine won't open to the public.)
From CBS 2 Chicago:
"Adolf Hitler is the greatest guy, so you don't know the other side," Junker said.
Junker spent $200,000 and five years building this shrine to the fuehrer and in a sense, to himself.
"They told everybody like we was (sic) monsters. They thought, 'The SS, they are bad guys,'" Junker said.
An inscribed plaque accuses the Allies of atrocities during the war.
In the same article, Junker makes the claim that not one person was gassed during Hitler's rule.
This cheesehead farmer has bratwursts for brains.
