WWII in Lego

“Sixteen-year-old Liverpudlian student John Denno recently constructed a series of dioramas depicting events in Germany from Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in 1933 until his 1945 suicide. What’s most remarkable is that these highly detailed tableaus are entirely constructed from Lego pieces. The only part of the entire exhibit that was improvised is Hitler’s mustache, which Denno drew on with a marker.

"These highly detailed, lovingly rendered scenes include 'The Reichstag Building Is Burned,' 'Riots Destroy Jewish Shops,' 'Auschwitz Is Opened,' and 'Hitler Commits Suicide.' If you choose to see one only all-Lego exhibit devoted to historical atrocities this year, make it this one.”

(Taki gets a bit snarky now and then. The "Hitler Commits Suicide" is the best one. And, Huffington goes with "lego-hitler' in its link thingy, failing to note one scene with the two major murderers of the 29th century -- BFFs Adolph and Joe.)
