Alcohol with Hitler's face on bottle

Roland M, 48, from Vorarlberg, Austria started selling alcohol from a website from at least 2011. Nothing strange about that, except that the bottles sport portraits of Adolf Hitler and Nazi swastikas.

Promoting or glorifying anything to do with the Third Reich is strictly illegal in Austria.

People complained, and he was investigated, but finally allowed to sell Hitler wines and schnapps when the authorities were satisfied that he was "motivated by profit and not by ideology."
