During the controversial TV ad, the Fuhrer is seen giving a vitriolic speech - dubbed over with a high-pitched voice telling men to buy Biomen shampoo
A Turkish TV commercial which appears to show Adolf Hitler urging male viewers to use a shampoo for "real men" has sparked international outrage.
During the controversial advert, the Fuhrer appears in a black and white film giving one of famously vitriolic speeches.
But his German diatribe is dubbed over with a high-pitched voice, which demands in Turkish, "Why are you using woman's shampoo if you're not wearing a woman's dress?
"Now there's the hundred percent men's shampoo Biomen. A real man uses Biomen."
The video then cuts to a picture of the shampoo bottle with the on-screen message, "Real men use Biomen."
Critics have called the 12-second commercial "repulsive" and "deeply offensive".
