Photo Gallery The Stork Versus the Nazis
Mathias Brodkorb, one of the people behind the Storch Heinar label, holds up a T-shirt from the brand.
Satirical graphics feature 'Benito Storcholini.'
The stork Heinar is an unfortunate cartoon character with a Hitler-esque moustache wearing an over-sized military helmet who has an unhappy childhood, an unacknowledged artistic talent and an oversized superiority complex.
The label pokes fun at Thor Steinar, a label founded in 2002, that gained an immediate following among the far-ight scene partially because of its deliberate emphasis on Nordic mythology, an important element to Nazi ideas about racial purity.
The slogan on the brown shirt says 'Rescuer': The small group behind Storch Heinar has been raising funds to fight the case in court -- they even have a new T-shirt for sale that boasts the garment's owner is part of the rescue team for the beleaguered bird.
