London, Aug 7 : Heather Mills has dropped her plans of buying the timber mountain lodge in Slovenia she fell in love with, after finding out that it was stolen by Nazis.
The animal rights activist had her heart set on buying the lodge, that came with a price tag of 400,000 pounds, but decided not to do so after an 84-year-old widow, named Dana Stankovic, has claimed that the property still belongs to her family.
Stankovic had revealed to the Daily Mail that the house had been built by her father in 1937, but the family had been forced to flee when World War II broke out.
"We had to abandon the house when the Second World War broke out. Then it was appropriated in turn by the Nazis, the Communists and the Slovenian government," the Daily Mail quoted Stankovic, as saying.
"But my family are the rightful owners. We've never sold it and now we want it back," she said.
The Slovenian government will cancel the deal until the claim is settled.
