NAZI dictator Adolf Hitler hatched a plot to steal the Shroud of
Turin but was thwarted by a handful of plucky Benedictine monks, it was
reported today.
Hitler dispatched aides to swipe the sacred
relic – believed to have been used to wrap the dead body of Christ –
after visiting Italy in 1938.
Vatican officials had it moved south
from Turin to the Montevergine monastery in the country's Campania
region, but the Fuhrer's henchmen eventually stumbled across the
shroud's hiding place.
