Two police officers who were at last week’s Group of Seven (G7) summit in Germany face disciplinary action for playing over the radio an excerpt of a wartime speech by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of propaganda, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported. […]

Five days before the start of the G7 summit, the officers broadcast via private radios an infamous 1943 speech in which Goebbels asks a large audience gathered in Berlin: “Do you want total war?” …

Is there still some hidden fondness for the fuhrer among some in Germany?

We don't know the context in which it was transmitted.

Jut watched a German TV mini series called Generation War,which was mainly about the Eastern Front.All during it...and during oher documentaries on Hitler vs Stalin...all I can think about is “if only *both* sides could have lost that battle”.

That's the one that tried to portray Poles as being just as bad as the Germans.
