1,250 garden gnomes with their right arms raised in a Hitler salute are presented in the southern German city of Straubing on October 14, 2009 -- all in the name of art. Artist Ottmar Hoerl, who has already displayed his provocative gnomes in Belgium, Italy and two German art galleries, said the display in Straubing in Bavaria was the first one in public in Germany.
