Welcometowallyword adgrunt reckons Citroën unmistakeably German Nazi ad is a total lemon.
"Here we go again - Nazi allusions in advertising. Citroën are running this cheesy spot in the U.K. - complete with Nazi eagle insignia, the autobahn, a road sign in gothic script not seen in Germany since the end of WWII, The Brandenburg Gate and Hitler's favourite composer Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" playing underneath. I'm surprised they didn't have the actor in a toothbrush moustache and be done with it. Agency: Euro RSCG"
Let's say Hi to Klaus who's always in character again. He's German and thinks the English are funny. Yah.

PermalinkAlso, German cancan.
Everything they show as German is Bavarian tho. Lederhosen, mountains, the buildings etc. Not that Bavaria isn't Germany, but it's just a part of Germany.
* full disclosure, I'm made in Stuttgart and wore a baby-tee that read "made in Germany"

PermalinkI know very little about Citroën. Seeing that Nazi ad makes me want to know even less.
