A Hitler lookalike has been arrested in Austria on charges of glorifying the Nazi era, local officials say.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old man reportedly calls himself Harald Hitler.<\/p>\n
The man, sporting a side parting and a trademark moustache, had been seen having his photograph taken outside the house in Braunau am Inn in which Adolf Hitler was born.<\/p>\n
The lookalike had recently moved to the town on the German border, police spokesman David Furtner told the BBC.<\/p>\n
Mr Furtner said this was not a joke or a piece of performance art.<\/p>\n
“The young man knows exactly what he is doing,” the police spokesman said.<\/p>\n
He said the man had also been spotted in Vienna and Graz.<\/p>\n
Pictures of the man were published by Austria’s Heute.at news website on Monday.<\/a><\/p>\n Glorifying the Nazi era is a crime in Austria.<\/p>\n
