A Taiwanese company apologized for featuring a cartoon of a smiling Hitler in ads to sell German-made electric space heaters and said they would be removed within days. The announcement came Tuesday after Israeli and German trade officials in the capital of Taipei said they were appalled by the ads, which show Hitler in a brown uniform and black jackboots, his arm raised in a stiff- armed salute. Above him is a space heater and the slogan, “Declare War on the Cold Front.”
