Germany drops case against "Heil Hitler" garden gnome...

German prosecutors decided Wednesday to drop a case over a garden gnome that has its right arm raised in a 'Heil Hitler' salute. 

A German artist, Ottmar Hoerl, made 700 of the gnomes for an exhibition entitled 'Dancing with the Devil' at a Nuremberg art gallery. 

A visitor to the gallery objected and lodged a complaint that Hoerl had violated German laws prohibiting the reproduction of Nazi symbols or slogans. News of the 'Nazi gnome' promptly went around the world. More...
