The Adolf Hitler doll

[nodding_folk]

So, anyone visiting the Ukraine?

An action-man style doll of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler has gone on sale in the Ukraine, with saleswomen comparing the doll to Barbie.

Supermarkets in the capital Kiev are stocking the 40 centimetre high figure of the fuhrer, complete with jackboots, leather trench-coat and swastika armband.

You will note the Daily Mail article you cite has been withdrawn by the newspaper.

This doll has been on sale in the UK and the USA for some time already:

This doll is actually produced in Taiwan by the DID Corporation. The BBC have now publicly acknowledged that this story was false: http://www.khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1210550372
