On Thursday, it was revealed that the elderly anti-Semitic Florida man who tried to burn down his Miami Beach condo during the summer, shouting he was “going to burn down the building with all the f***ing Jews,” had an assortment of Nazi memorabilia in his home.

According to the Miami Herald, items found in the home of Walter Stolper, 73, was a Santa Hitler mug, another mug with an oath to Hitler, a knife with a Nazi emblem, a SS flag, a copy of Adolf Hitler’s book “Mein Kampf,” a framed Nazi eagle logo, a seeming Nazi calendar, and a mug of a smiling Nazi holding a young girl.
The mug with the oath to Hitler read, “I swear to you Adolf Hitler as Fuhrer and chancellor to the German Reich, loyalty and courage. I vow to you and to the superiors appointed by you, obedience until death, so help me God.”
Police have a surveillance video of Stolper hauling a shopping cart loaded with gasoline ahead of his attempted attack. Stolper had poured gasoline down the condo’s chute starting from the 15th floor as well as the hallway.
Miami Beach Police spokesman Ernesto Rodriguez acknowledged, “We do believe that we were minutes away from a potentially deadly situation.” He added, “We received a tip yesterday. He had been acting strangely saying a lot of derogatory comments towards the Jewish community. We later learned there was a pending eviction for him … This is an individual that our intelligence unit intercepted with two filled gasoline tanks as he was coming back into the apartment building. “
