I think it is shameful for the descendants of Goebbels to do so.

Goebbels murdered all of his descendants in 1945 before committing suicide. These people are the descendants of his siblings or something.
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

Now just find one wearing a stereotypical evil Jew outfit, and you are good to go.  :P

(A) As Valmy pointed out, Goebbels has no descendants.
(B) The estate owns the copyrights.  In the west, unlike (apparently) Poland, there is no shame in enforcing one's copyright.

Not sure - the copyright for Mein Kampf runs out this year or next (it's held by the state of Bavaria, who refused to permit any reprints till now).
They obviously haven't been enforcing their copyright on this side of the pond.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Their copyright is only on the German-language version.

Ah, didn't know that. Makes sense.
