Apparently there are those who think the Fuhrer was a hero.
Some of these people live in the Ukraine, where an Adolf Hitler action-figure has gone on sale. The $200 doll is compared to Barbie by sales-women in Kiev and, just like the famous blond, it comes complete with accessories and several changes of clothes. Although any form of Nazism or fascism is prohibited in the Ukraine, the dolls are already on sale and will be mas-produced starting this summer. This is a result of growing extreme right political sentiment and increasing xenophobia and racism.
It looks like some Ukrainians, especially the young ones, have forgotten that Hitler killed 3 million of them during WWII, including 1.5 million Jews. He wanted to turn the country into slave populated buffer zone with Russia, now they think he was a hero…that’s sad.
The doll comes with a spare head that gives Hitler a kinder face…because he was such a kind person?!?

By the way, this figure was made by DiD, “Dragon in Dreams” under their selling division “3R” it is 1/6 scale and has been on the market for some time now, well over a year, maybe close to two years. Believe the run was limited to 2000 figures. Sold out in most places. Selling price in the US was $80 and have seen it sell for as much as $300 in Europe.

Looks that some Ukrainians dont believe allied after-war propaganda. Seems they have not forgotten 73 years Stalin and can do a better judgement of that than we can. By the way they even didnt believe allied propaganda during the war as 300.000 Ukrainians joined the Wehrmacht and fought for the Germans. Mainly in the Ukrainian Liberty Army and the 14th Armored SS Division which in fact was ukrainian. They surrendered as late as May 10th !! 1945.
