Heil Santa!

Miniature wooden Santa figures were removed from Rossmann stores, a German retail chain, after customers claimed they looked like they were giving the outlawed Hitler salute.

“We were astonished by the reaction,” Josef Lange, a spokesman for Rossmann said. “It looks like he’s just pointing up to the sky and we were surprised that anyone saw the so-called ‘Hitler salute’ in that. But we responded and had the entire inventory removed and destroyed.”

As you might’ve noticed from the picture, the only thing better than one offensive Santa is an army of them. Although they were all destroyed (I assume in an ironic petrol fire), I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this doll. Afterall, what better mascot to represent the consumerism of the holiday season than Nazi Santa? Now, if we could only get them to be made in China, for 2 cents a toy, rather than Germany.
