A German Holocaust denier who regularly lavished praise on Adolf Hitler has been sentenced to five years in jail by a German court.
Ernst Zuendel was convicted of 14 counts of inciting racial hatred and for denying that the Nazis killed six million Jews during World War II.
He received the maximum sentence under German law which bans Holocaust denial.
Zuendel moved to Canada in 1958 but was judged a national security threat and deported back to Germany in 2005.
The 67-year-old once published a book called The Hitler We Loved and Why, and described the former Nazi leader as “a decent and very peaceful man”.
