I got another Airfix 1/76 Panther Tank model, either for Xmas or – I think the latter – my birthday. I was looking at wrecked Panther photos, thinking I might do a wee diorama.
That lead me to the story of Klaus-Dieter Flick’s actual Panther, which was the cause of a political kerfuffle some years back. And that in turn lead me to Arno Breker…
As well as collecting weaponry, Flick also owned originals or copies of Nazi-era Breker sculptures. I find all this kind of thing quite interesting. For example, I really like the TV series Selling Hitler, about the faked Hitler diaries…
