An artist won a court case allowing him to display 1250 "Hitler saluting" garden gnomes in the central marketplace of Straubing, Bavaria.

The court ruled that they were legal, despite their gesture, as it was satire.

Oohhkayy.

Oh, yeah, it's "just" satire until the little monsters start breaking windows…

So, what are they satirizing?

This is funny right up until the little nazi Bleeped texts take out the Czech Republic. We'll see who's laughing when the UN has to authorize Operation GnomeMo to retake the annexed territory.
