They should make a follow up campaign:
"The Final Solution for dendruff"
"Blitzkrieg for your hair"
"Blondie - The natural hair dye"
etc.

It is being noted now for the outrage it is causing.

If we are not allowed to draw pictures of Muhammed, they are not allowed to use our historical figures either!

You sure?  Hitler is a pretty much a punch line these days.

I havent seen any product ads on TV with footage of Hitler. Are their some I missed in the last 20 years or so?

Do  historical figures show up on product ads much?  I haven't seen any product ads on TV with footage of Churchil, Stalin, or Roosevelt either.

Google fu shows the Turkish ad, a German anti-Aids ad and a MoveOn web ad calling Bush Hitler. No American tv ads that I can find.

The German Anti-AIDS one was mildly controversial (it equated AIDS with mass murderers, there was another one with Stalin).

I am surprised no one has made a "Hitler reacts-Downfall" clip relating to this yet.

Honest Abe was pitching GEICO a while back by telling Mary her ass was fat.  George Washington seems pretty popular for presidents' day sales.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011
