Church's 'Hitler bell' strikes duff note in tiny German town


The bell inside the Herxheim am Berg church. The church bell in Herxheim am Berg has been ringing over the tiny, wine region town for around 82 years. But some say its Nazi inscription should be reason to make it history. The St. Jacob church’s bell still bares the Nazi-era inscription: “All for the Fatherland, Adolf Hitler”, right above a swastika. After two new church bells were brought to the church in 1951, the “Hitler bell” continued to ring with them in the church.
