‘Top-Shop’ Now Selling Clothes with Nazi Insignia

Posted by Farrell Dobbs on July 3, 2012 · 7 Comments 

Not content with just being tax cheats, Top-Shop is stocking clothes that incorporate Nazi insignia (Deaths Head Skull).

“The “Death’s Head” was the symbol of the SS-Totenkopfverbande (one of the original three branches of the SS, along with the Algemeine SS and the Waffen SS), whose purpose was to guard the concentration camps. Most of the original members of this organization were later transferred into and became the core of a Waffen SS division, the Death’s Head Division. The symbol is most often seen as a tattoo.”

It is astonishing that a company owned by a Jewish Businessman would sell products that contain the logo of  an SS platoon that guarded concentration camps.

***UPDATE***

TOPSHOPIt has come to our attention that a T-shirt that we had in stock up until earlier today featured a skull and cross bone design which has upsetting historic connotations and references. It is not our intention to cause offence through our collections and it has now been removed from all stores as well as Topshop.com. We apologise for any distress felt by our customers.

    Mr green, as the owner of this buisiness, are you actually aware of these t-shirts your shops are selling. Or have you made so much money that you have forgotten who you are.

    Regardless of it being a slayer T Shirt, the picture is the nazi deaths head symbol, not just a skull and cross bones

    Topshop havew now withdrwan it and apologised. It is definately the SS design, not just a skull and crossbones (my 6yo has loads of those as he likes pirates), but the interesting question is assuming no one in Topshop’s buying dept initially had a clue what it was, did it originate with the band’s blessing (there have been plenty of nazi allegations against them in the past), or just some dumb designer who cut and pasted a logo from the internet without checking on its provenance?
