It is hard to imagine anything weirder or, for that matter, more German than the Nazi-era Easter sugar bunnies riding tanks that have caused such a stir in Tübingen, south-west Germany.
The weird moulds were found in the basement of Café Lieb and the bakery decided to reactivate them.
“Older people say they recognise them from their childhood, and many old people simply want to buy them as a souvenir,” said the comically named Ulrich Buob, head confectioner at Café Lieb. More curiously, Herr Buob argued for the relevance of the tank-straddling bunnies as Germany seeks to re-arm.
