Erwähnen Sie nicht den Krieg!!!
Erwähnen Sie nicht den Krieg!!! or in English: Don't mention the war!!
This is in my local paper and has had me laughing http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north...2703-27843916/ Guess why the German owners aren't happy?

That's really strange, normally Germans are known worldwide for their fantastic sense of humour.

Having a Hilter looky likey on a poster campain is not something they'ed like, as WW2 is not a part of their history they'ed care to remember. Its a sterotypical image of Germans that isn't correct, plus of course he was Austrian
