Thai University Apologizes for Hitler Banner
Thailand's premier university has apologized for displaying a banner that showed Adolf Hitler alongside Superman and other superheroes. School officials say it was painted by ignorant students who didn't realize Hitler's image would offend anyone.
The huge banner said "Congratulations." It was hung outside the art school of Chulalongkorn University for this year's graduating class.
Art school Dean Suppakorn Disatapundhu said Monday that freshman students had painted the banner. He called their mistake "the result of pure ignorance."
In a statement, the dean issued a "sincere apology" from the university.
The banner was up for two days and taken down Saturday in response to criticism.
Online photographs showed graduating students in their robes, mimicking the image of Hitler with one arm raised in the Nazi salute.

U should appologise to Hitler since he is one hell of a visionary and leader and patriot to Germany... Jew and U.S media have been tarnishing his image since 30 april 1945 so he became the only Satan in history of mankind, for instance why nobody mentionned Josef Stalline who killed 1million Russian himself not to mention the other 24millions Russians as collateral damage? The Nazi party still exists till today everywhere and specially the USA. Those who hate Hitler or any other Historic figure without reading his life inside out is an ignorant and a follower.
(Americans and Russians are Hitler's Germany students since they stole all Nazi archives and studied them thouroughly..
few sample of stolen knowledge?
fuel propelled rockets, and turbine jets, Goebbel's propaganda, Menguele's medical researches ....
