Hitler coffee mugs sold in Germany

GERMANY: A German furniture store chain has apologised for selling coffee mugs featuring faint portraits of Adolf Hitler it had mistakenly ordered from a Chinese supplier, a news report said.

The vintage-style ceramic cups feature a faint image of a Nazi-era postage stamp that shows a black and white profile of Hitler, postmarked with a swastika stamp, all obscured by other design elements including a rose and cursive script.
