Citius Altius Fortius Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 The decorations of the media-banquet at the Biathlon World Championships in Russia caused a scandal - the decorations were prints of old newspapers of some of the participating nations - the "faux-pas" was that the Russian organisators chose two german newspapers out of the Nazi Germany merkur online - Biathlon: Hitler-Fauxpas sorgt für Empörung The organisators had to apologise to the Internationa Biathlon Union - the Russian organisators were not aware what kind of newspaper they had chosen and they didn't understand the headlines - the two headlines were: "Reichskanzler Hitler" (Reichs Chancellor Hitler) "Die Invasion hat begonnen" (The Invasion has started) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
