We read:
"An anti-Semitism watchdog has called for a cosmetics company in South Korea to halt an advertising campaign that it said used Nazi imagery to promote a skin lotion.
The television advert for Coreana Cosmetics shows a model, in military garb with a soldier's cap that appears to carry Nazi insignia. The slogan: "Even Hitler didn't have the East and West" has been changed to "No one has ever had the East and the West", but the Simon Wiesenthal Centre said that the advert was still an insult to Holocaust victims.
The company behind the advert said it was meant to imply that the lotion could succeed in both East and West, which Hitler had failed to do.

Nope you can't see the add there, it has been pulled.
Mobius
This ad is stupid, Hitler did have the east and west, Tojo was in his axis. But furthermore, unless you have a pretty good idea, it's best not to use Hitler in an ad.
Why not? For so-called freedom-loving people to be so sensitive after 65 years is nonsense! Or, is it simply a desire for yet more attention and sympathy?
