The owner of a Nazi-themed cafe in Indonesia has
defended his decision to cover the walls with a flag bearing the
swastika and a giant picture of Adolf Hitler, saying it has been good
for business.
Staff at the Soldatenkaffee (Soldier Cafe) dress in Waffen-SS,
Luftwaffe (air force) and Heer (army) uniforms, and can be seen posing
in front of the building on its Facebook page.The cafe, located in the West Java provincial capital of Bandung, one of Indonesia's tourist destination cities, has been open since April 2011.

Authorities in Indonesia plan to ask the restaurant owner to explain his reasons for choosing a Nazi theme for the cafe.


"Those symbols are internationally recognised to represent violence and racism," Mr Vivananda said.

He also denied being pro-Nazi or supporting Hitler.
"I'm just a businessman, not a politician," Mr Mulyana said.
"I have a right to design my restaurant with anything that attracts people to come. I'm sure that I'm not violating any laws."

"Let's wait and see," he said. "I don't want the workers here to lose their jobs."
