Hitler as a Salesman

I came across this particular article a month or two after I returned from studying in Southern Germany for three weeks. I had to read it twice: once to chuckle at the creativity and humor of the images, and once to read the message and understand the argument the writer was making.

To be honest, I can't say that I gave the images a second thought until the author pointed out the problem.

Good food for thought though. Read on.
