Nazi Garb Removed

The Izzue clothing stores in Hong Kong have finally removed their Nazi-decorated clothes. And all it took was a worldwide storm of protest. Hong Kong Chain Drops Nazi-Themed Clothing.

After receiving complaints last week, the company removed all Nazi-themed store decorations, including flags and a propaganda video, but the clothing remained until Monday when executives met and decided to remove the merchandise.

“We don’t want to upset anybody,” said Deborah Cheng, marketing manager of the retailer, which goes by the Internet-style name izzue.com.

“We were a bit politically insensitive. We don’t wish to make any race unhappy about it,” she said Tuesday.

One of the T-shirts for sale had a portrait of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler standing on a laurel. Decorations in the stores included red banners adorned with swastikas and a sign that resembled a Third Reich symbol — an eagle above a swastika.

One outlet used a film projector to show Nazi propaganda footage.
