UK tour leaders faced criticism over plans to take tourists on a luxury trip to visit sites associated with Adolf Hitler.

The eight-day £2000 ($3122) trip in June - titled "Face of Evil: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" - has been sanctioned by German authorities.

The itinerary includes visits to sites such as the spot where Hitler committed suicide, the lakeside villa where the Holocaust was planned and the Sachsenhausen concentration camp.

"German historians have confronted the Nazi past with seriousness," said David Cesarani, a British expert on the Nazi period.

"But there is a danger of sensationalism when it is incorporated in what I'd call a holiday tour.

"If you focus on the sites most pertinent to Hitler, you are concentrating on the cult of that personality. The trip in effect becomes a perverse pilgrimage," he added.
