The Saxony Special Forces received new armoured vehicles that can withstand explosions and head-on machine gun assaults.

But, it was another characteristic that drew the attention of social media users.

A crested logo that bears similarities to the Reich Eagle were adorned on the seats.

One Twitter user said sarcastically: “What a beautiful logo.

The pictures Hitler NEVER wanted you to see

 
Eva Braun kept a personal photo album, full of photos of her lover Adolf Hitler which he had never authorised to be released to the public. The album was found in Eva Braun's home by a photographer at the end of WW2, and has gone up for auction at C&T Auctions in Kent

    “Almost like the one from the older Nazi times. It just lacks only an eagle and a swastika.”

    Saxony’s Interior Ministry quickly apologised over the choice in a statement published this week.

    It said: “The vehicle was delivered to us with the logo on the seat backs by the supplier. Script chosen by the supplier.

    “We catergorially deny all accusations concerning the fact the logo was allegedly purported to show any links to National Socialism.

    “It was by no means intended to trigger any such associations.”

      PARADE: The Nazis held many victory parades during WW2

      Following the allies victory in WW2 Germany passed a law that bans any public display of Nazi emblems or memorabilia.

      The law has even forced video game producers to change content in top Nazi shoot-em ups, including Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

      In the game a moustache-less Hitler isn’t called mein fuhrer, but rather mein kanzler – meaning my chancellor.

      Naturally, the ban also meant the infamous Nazi swastika.
