A Polish company is under fire for trying to sell socks that look like Adolf Hitler.
The questionable accessories, by socks brand Nanushki, were designed “to bring order in the socks drawer,” according to the company’s website. The Nazi leader is rendered in full, footed glory, down to his toothbrush mustache.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum called out the tasteless footwear, denouncing the brand to Central European News for using “one of the biggest criminals in history for marketing purposes.”
Since the backlash, the Polish company has renamed the “Adolf” socks “Patrick” — just an ordinary financier, who happens to bear a strong resemblance to the dictator.
