Hitler Ringtone Lands German Man In Jail

A German man annoyed fellow train passengers even more than normal recently by receiving incoming calls on his cell phone, which had a speech by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler as its ringtone.

Now, the man could face as long as six months in prison for the Nazi ringtone he programmed into his phone.

According to the Telegraph, the man's ringtone was a speech in which Hitler threatened "the destruction of world Jewry" if Germany was "dragged" into war.

Passengers aboard a train to Hamburg heard the ringtone multiple times and reported it to police. The man, 54, was arrested when the train reached its destination.

Swastika stickers and a photo of Hitler with the words, "The greatest commander of all time," were also seized from the man,
the Daily Mail reported.

The ringtone, along with the stickers and photo discovered in the man's possession, violate the German constitution, which prohibits public displays of Nazi works or public support of Nazism.

Good for Germany not to endorse someone that ruined a large part of the world, including Germany itself.

A man stands up for what he believes against an obviously oppressive non freedom of speech government and gets jail time. sure, putting him in jail makes you feel better, but seems more like a way to hide your countries horrific crimes against humanity. Sure he's an idiot but should that be a crime?

Why arrest the fool? -Hitlers idiotic Jew hating clearly will NEVER make any sense at all,his ring tone is just a reminder...

on the other hand in the US, we can fly the confederate flag next to the gay pride flag, if we choose to do so. Isn't free speech grand!

[rwsmith29456]

That is, they can fly them as long as it isn't above the American flag, which is illegal.

Not to mention a lot of Republicans for promoting and allowing the racist imagery on political signs against President Obama...these being the ultimate insult in a nation at war with terrorists.

There is NOTHING patriotic about racist bigotry against our President while we are fighting an unconventional war against a shadowy enemy that has already made thousands of Americans, civilian and military, pay the ultimate price for their adherence to peace and to protect the innocent.

I m a republican and m very offended by what u said. First of all,i dont dislike Obama because he is a different race, i dislike him because of his policy and plan of action, and i bet many other republicans feel the same way!

Second,how were u democrats any different when George Bush was in office? He was fighting the same war on terror under the same circumsatnces and u democrats hated him. U guys bigoted him every chance u got, and there is NOTHING patriotic about that! U guys r using Obamas color to make republicans look bad when it has no influence on how we feel.

What in the Sam Hill does an Adolph Hitler ringtone have to do with OBAMA????

[sean56v]

I would not enforce the law and allow Hitler's voice. The crowds are amused by the ramblings of a paranoid baboon.
