ABOVE: The owner of the Zurbruggen furniture chain is willing to buy back the cup bearing Hitler’s portrait for 20 times the sale cost
A small German furniture store chain says it inadvertently ordered 5,000 coffee cups bearing a faint portrait of Adolf Hitler from China.
Christian Zurbruggen, co-owner of the Zurbruggen chain, said that 175 of the offending cups were sold before customers reported the problem.

Zurbrueggen said he wants to take the cups “out of circulation” and destroy them.
The 4,825 unsold cups have been destroyed and Zurbrueggen says he’s offering a 20-euro (28-US dollar) voucher for the return of the others, which were sold for 1.99 euros each.
The cups have a faint feature of a Nazi-era stamp bearing Hitler‘s portrait and a postmark with a swastika in the background overlaid with another layer of decoration.
They were ordered from a trade fair in China and delivered last month.
