Outrage at plan to make Hitler's courts flats

Hitler's judges sentenced more than 1000 anti-Nazi resistance fighters to death in these very rooms.

But now the former Third Reich courthouse, a neo-baroque edifice on an idyllic lake, has reopened as a luxury complex containing some of Berlin's most expensive and opulent apartments.

The conversion of the German capital's former Nazi military court into a "unique" city residence with six-room flats available to rent at more than ¬4000 ($7600) a month has provoked a storm of criticism from historians and anti-Nazi veterans' organisations.
