Madame Tussauds Wax Museum has had only limited success with displaying Adolf Hitler in its historical exhibits, especially in London. The clothing and hair on the figure is subject to rapid deterioration due to the frequent laundering required to remove the large quantities of spittle left on it by British visitors. When a Hitler figure was put on display, with much controversy, in the Tussauds branch in Berlin in 2008 (see above photo), it was decapitated within minutes.
Ironically, Hitler was one of the few figures to survive a Nazi bomb dropped on the museum in London in 1940.
