The Dog Hitler Hated

Apparently, Hitler’s Nazi government didn’t take too kindly to imitation, especially from dogs:

A Finnish dog which gave Nazi salutes so annoyed Germany’s World War II government that it launched a campaign against its owner.

Tor Borg’s wife had reportedly given Jackie the nickname Hitler – saying the dog’s strange way of raising its paw and barking reminded her of the Fuhrer.

Newly discovered documents show Mr Borg was interrogated by the Germans on suspicion of insulting Hitler.

Ok, fine: “It was unclear whether Adolf Hitler had been involved in the saga himself.” But, it’s kind of funny thinking of him being as obsessed with a dog as his government agencies.

BBC has a picture of the pooch (with a kind-of funny caption joke). Original auf Deutsch. (Actually funny caption joke if you can read it)
