    "French officials have said they are investigating the discovery of a bust of Hitler found in the Senate's cellar along with a Nazi flag.
    It comes 75 years after the upper house of Parliament in Paris was used in the Luftwaffe's HQ.
    The 13.7 inch-high bust was found along with the flag which reportedly measures 6.5ft by 9.8ft.
    It was discovered in the vault of the Senate in the 6th Arrondissement of Paris, and officials have said they had no idea the objects were there.
    The revelation comes two years after around 75 pieces of Nazi art were seized during an operation carried out on June 9, 2017.
    They were found on the outskirts of Buenos Aires and have since been on display at the Interpol headquarters.
    Speaking to reporters Senate president Gerard Larcher said: 'I was not aware of the presence of this bust.'
    He also added that he was 'certain' Senate staff had not tried to cover up the presence of the metal effigy."
