    Struggling to think of a suitable quip for this one.
    "A Nazi sex mansion where Hitler's propaganda chief bedded film stars will become an artists' commune with special accommodation for immigrants under bold new plans.
    Joseph Goebbels, the Reich Minister of Propaganda, was gifted land at Bogensee, near Berlin, for his birthday in 1936 and spent fortunes building a mansion there.
    It was where he seduced his various mistresses, including the then film starlet Lída Baarová.
    It is also where he wrote his notorious 'Total War' speech of 1943 - which saw him urge the German people to continue fighting the Allies even though the tide of the war had turned against them.
    Today, the Bogensee mansion - which is comprised of more than 70 rooms and boasts a private cinema - lies abandoned.
    It fell into disuse in the 1990s, after spending the Cold War as an East German college for indoctrinating young people into communism.
    Now plans are afoot to transform the Bogensee complex into an artists' commune, complete with a vegan restaurant, non-profit supermarket and homeopathic health centre.
    The scheme also includes workshops, a theatre and a museum, and priority living space for those 'disadvantaged in our society', including immigrants and the disabled.
    It is hoped that the transformation will deter neo-Nazis from wanting to visit the complex."

    The Fuhrer would surely have approved of the Vegan Restaurant.....:)

    Adolf ate during his evening coffee meetings several cakes so you should prepare for this as well. And the farting. ;)
