“Hitler wine” case dropped (Austria)

“Hitler wine” case dropped (Austria)

Austrian officials have dropped an investigation launched after a man was found to be selling wine and schnapps with Adolf Hitler on the label. They said there was no proof that the labels break a law against glorifying the Nazi era. State prosecution official Heinz Rusch said the investigation has come to a halt because of lack of proof that the man contravened that specific law. The legal probe was launched last year after complaints that a website posting showed bottles with portraits of Hitler and the swastika, reports Decanter.
