The Berlin branch said it does not allow visitors to enter the replica of the bunker so that the figure is protected.

critics object

Madame Tussauds has defended its display of the Hitler figure in Berlin as “a legitimate part of our show” because he “stands for an important part of German history.”

The presence of the Nazi dictator’s likeness in the new museum led to criticism in German media before the branch’s opening in July.
