Austrian Prosecutor Investigates Hitler Schnapps

Hitler On Schnapps Bottle

12/ 6/11 06:57 AM ET   AP

VIENNA — A prosecutor is investigating whether a man selling wine and schnapps with pictures of Adolf Hitler on the labels is breaking a law prohibiting displays glorifying the Nazi era.

Wilfried Siegele says he will examine whether the alleged sales break the law after complaints from a Green party member.

The man was identified Tuesday by officials and the Austria Press Agency only as Roland M., in keeping with privacy laws.

A website posting with a Facebook link to Roland Marte shows bottles with portraits of Hitler and the swastika. The site offers sales of spirits in "nostalgic bottles of former historical greats."

A woman answering the telephone listed under Marte's name confirmed he sold such bottles but said Marte wasn't home. She would not identify herself.

You know with the "Transfer Agreement" and all you would think he would be a hero to zionists for helping them set-up the aparthied occupation of Palestine but then at the end '44 he did drop them and take-out a couple Austrian Rothschilds. I guess he realized he was being set-up...To this day every couple months there is some absurd new story about him...Even if you give a scorpion a ride across a river it will still bite you- it's their nature.

I don't suppose you've heard of the British Mandate of Palestine and the Balfour Agreement? Read about it and understand another thing. The Arabs don't care if Israel becomes a wasteland again (as opposed to the garden the Jews have made of much of it), as long as the so called "occupying Jews" are dead. Well, in AD 0 the Arabs were still primarily located in North Africa from which they emigrated destroying of absorbing local populations in the process. If you want to play this "toss out the occupiers" then we should be chucking the Arabs back to North Africa, the Jews back to Judea, Sumeria, etc, and the Arabs back to North Africa. Since that's impossible EVERYONE will have to learn to live with where everyone ELSE is now. Since the combined Arab government refuses to accept that idea, it's fairly plain that their original goal is still their current goal, reoccupation of the holy land and destruction of the resident Jewish population. e.g. finishing the work they started when they joined the NSADP as an Axis minor power in in the late 1930's.

Yeah the Balfour declaration adressed to Rothschild...have you read it? Do you know who the rothschilds are? The guys that financed the Nazi party. The ashkenazic jews did not turn the land into a garden, they turned it into an aparthied occupied palestine. Read the British mandates reports about the exports from palestine, read the ottoman era exports from Palestine...the land was cultivated and producing. The ashkenazic colonials came and took the best lands, read the Israeli militia's (like haganah) own accounts of "cleansing eretz israel". The land belongs to Palestinians who are of northern semitic ancestory mixed with southern semitic (arab) ancestory. It does not belong to European colonial settlers. You need to read and research...If you listened to actual news as opposed to propaganda you would know that Palestinians have tried to make peace but the Israeli's won't. READ Herzol, Jabotinsky, Ben-gurion, Sharon etc If you want the truth it's out there, if you want lies keep repeating the nonsense you wrote.

I suppose you'd call Jesus Christ an 'occupier' too, since He was a Jew living in Jewish Palestine. It was during Jesus' lifetime that the Jews were ethnically cleansed from their aboriginal homeland of Palestine -- which is now called Israel. Long before WWll and the Holocaust, the world decided to correct that atrocity by enacting the British Mandate of Palestine and the Balfour Agreement.

The Arabs who falsely call themselves 'Palestinian' are nothing more than Jordanians and Egyptians whose own countries don't want them back because they are lazy, ignorant troublemakers.

Until 1963 or thereabout, the ONLY people known as 'Palestinian' were the Jews. Yasser Arafat organized the Arab rabble of Jordanians and Egyptians (Arafat was an Egyptian) and renamed them 'Palestinian' in an attempt to steal not only the name, but the history of the Jews.

These facts are easily verified. But do cling onto your ignorance as an excuse for your hatred.

No jesus was not an occupier he was a hebrew as opposed to ashkenazic jews which are european colonial settlers. The transfer agreement was what took the europeans to Palestine based on the Balfour declaration. Rothschilds financed everyone involved. The British took over Palestine from the Ottomans at end of WW1 and started the process of european colonialism. The palestinians have been a people for 2000 years and have lived along side hebrews just fine until racist european colonials came and started aparthied- and the murder, rape, slavery, torture that go along with that. Those Arabs are Palestinians and no amount of propaganda lies will ever change that. All these facts are verifiable if you want truth but if you want lies then stick to the non-sense that you wrote. Read Herzol, Jabotinsky, Ben-Gurion, Sharon and the militia's (like haganah) own accounts of "cleansin eretzisrael" The truth hurts but it is still truth.

Hitler wasn't a Socialist. He was an Authoritarian. That is different than socialism. Buy a book.

Daggum it, I have been waiting years for it and now somebody wastes precious resources putting his face on Scnapps?

Think bigger - go for the Hitler decal on bottom of the toilet bowl. That way, #1, #2, or vomit would be right in his face. Maybe open his mouth like in one of his speeches.

People use sex and sensationalism to catch the attention of the public all the time . It is a good marketing strategy.
