Next recalls underwear after complaints over 'Hitler image'


Next is a store in the U.K. much like the GAP, Banana Republic, or H&M. But when a customer bought a pair of underwear he looked at the graphics on it resembling a comic strip and saw an image that looked like Hitler saluting as planes passed above his head.

Next said the image was inspired by a picture of Lenin, the former Soviet Leader.

Next is pulling the 5,200 remaining pairs off their shelves. They should've thought about this before putting their product on the shelves in a country that was bombed by Hitler (even if the image wasn't him).
