The birthplace of Adolf Hitler in Braunau am Inn, Austria, has been converted into a police station, officially opening today after extensive renovations, reports DPA. The transformation aims to deter neo-Nazi gatherings at the site near the Bavarian border. The renovation cost approximately 20 million euros and will accommodate officers from the district police department and local station within the complex, which includes additional buildings and a courtyard. The property, previously privately owned, was expropriated in 2017 following a lengthy legal battle. An expert committee opted against demolition or museum conversion, advocating instead for a redesign to obscure its recognition. The site has historically attracted far-right extremists, and authorities find its new function beneficial for immediate security checks. Hitler initiated World War II, resulting in over 60 million deaths, including approximately 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.

Turning Hitler’s old gaff into a cop shop? Brilliant idea! Nothing says “let’s move on” like having the boys in blue setting up shop where the big guy once plotted his grand finale. 😂👮♂️
