'Tasteless' Hitler statue at crazy golf course

A crazy golf course has been criticised for featuring models of Adolf Hitler and Saddam Hussein on its nine-hole set.

A Hitler statue on the course raises its right arm in a Nazi salute and shouts “Nein, nein, nein” when a golf ball is hit through its tunnel by players. Another hole depicts an animated statue of former Iraqi dictator Saddam.

Michael Samuels, of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, told the Derby Telegraph the Hitler figure is “tasteless” and said it has “absolutely no artistic value whatsoever”.

The course is part of an art installation, called Doug Fishbone And Friends: Adventureland Golf, and has been designed by some of the UK’s most celebrated contemporary artists, including Jake and Dinos Chapman, David Shrigley, Gary Webb, and Doug Fishbone himself.
