BERLIN -- Weeks after being fired from her own talk show, anchorwoman Eva Herman managed to find her way back into the limelight by walking off somebody else's talk show.
Herman, who was fired by public broadcaster NDR after making sympathetic statements about the Nazis' family values while promoting her newest book, had been invited to the popular "Die Johannes B. Kerner Show" on Tuesday to address the issues surrounding her forced retirement. Instead of backpedaling, however, she proceeded to stand by her remarks and even volunteered a new incendiary sound bite, this time referring to Hitler's building of the Autobahn.
After protests from two of the other three guests -- television host Margarethe Schreinemakers and actress Senta Berger -- Herman departed with little prompting by host Kerner.
Herman, whose biggest achievement was as an anchorwoman on German television, has recast herself as Germany's answer to Ann Coulter: blond, blue-eyed and brazen. Her two books, "The Eva Principle" and "The Noah's Ark Principle -- Why We Must Save the Family," are populist tomes celebrating the sanctity of motherhood and the decline of family values.

COLOGNE, Germany -- The German media and high-ranking politicians are praising public broadcaster NDR for its decision to fire conservative talk show host and author Eva Herman after she made comments praising the Nazis' "family values."
NDR, part of the national ARD network, fired Herman from the right wing/left wing talk show "Herman and Tietjen" on Sunday. The move came after Herman, promoting her latest book on family values, said that Hitler's family policies -- which included cash bonuses for extra children and the death penalty for abortions -- were good for the country.
"It was a horrible time with a manic and dangerous leader who led the Germans into ruin. ... But values like family, children and motherhood were promoted in the Third Reich and were destroyed in the 1960s. Much that was of value from that time was destroyed," Herman said.
Herman is considered the German equivalent of Ann Coulter, a blond, blue-eyed commentator known for her conservative views on the family and motherhood.
