Die Flipperwaldt Gersput: Hitler Doll

Thursday, April 24, 2008

At 2:18 AM, Taziuk said...: The source information about Hitler dolls in Ukraine is based on false,
anti-Ukrainian propaganda. The Daily Mail have withdrawn the article from their website and the BBC have now publicly acknowledged that this story
was false: http://www.khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1210550372

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

UK http://www.modellersloft.co.uk/showitem.ihtml?id=22831
USA http://www.pzg.biz/figure_hitler.htm

There is detailed information about how this story came to be twisted
into a slander against Ukraine, one posted by the Kharkiv Human Rights
Protection Group (http://www.khpg.org/en/index.php?id=1209570049) and a more detailed analysis by the Ukrainian Archive
(http://www.ukar.ca/shevchenko/buzyna/hitler.html).

I urge you to please issue a public correction.
