The Hitler-comparison? Annoying. People thinking that anything german = Nazi? Also annoying.
Someone should tell these people that "Herr XY" is a common way to refer to a german male in a polite way.
Rather nice to see them not just make genocidical comparisons, but assuming that german way of addressing = evil. But then, since people greeted me with the Hitler salute when I visited the United States, I shouldn't be that surprised at this kind of ignorance.
