Four Germans Arrested in Austria for Nazi Tributes at Hitler's Birthplace

The individuals, including two sisters and their spouses, were detained for performing Nazi salutes and laying roses at the controversial site.

Four German nationals were arrested in Braunau am Inn, Austria, for paying tribute to Adolf Hitler by laying white roses and performing Nazi salutes.
The arrests occurred on the anniversary of Hitler's birth at his childhood home, which is being converted into a police station to deter neo-Nazi pilgrimages.
One of the women claimed the salute was a joke, but police found Nazi-themed messages and images on her cellphone.
The group, consisting of two sisters and their partners, faces prosecution for violating Austrian laws against the display of Nazi symbols.
The renovation of Hitler's birthplace includes plans for hosting human-rights training courses, aiming to repurpose the site positively.
