- BERLIN -- It was to be Hitler's
Rome, the capital of the dictator's 1,000-year reich, complete with triumphal
avenue and a huge dome to hold 180,000 people for political rallies. But
Germania was never built, and the country turned its back on the plans.
-
- Now, however, thousands of Germans are now turning to
a website to see a 3D animation of what Hitler's architect, Albert Speer,
had planned.
-
- Since the company behind the project offered posters
and an interactive CD of Germania last month, its website - panorama-berlin.de
- has become the most visited in Germany. A company spokesman said: "There
is a great deal of interest in what the capital might have turned out like.
This is not a Nazi freak show, but satisfying an historical hunger."
