KANSAS CITY, MO—Proclaiming their deep and sincere regret for any role their extensive line of greeting cards may have played in one of the darkest chapters of history, event-commemoration giant Hallmark apologized Friday for supplying Hitler’s infamous Third Reich with greeting cards from 1938 to mid-1945. “We deeply regret our actions in not only designing and printing but also distributing millions of Hallmark-brand greeting cards to political officials, military leaders, and Wehrmacht soldiers across Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe,” said Hallmark CEO Donald J. Hall Jr. in a statement on the company’s website which publicly acknowledged the mass production of “Get Well Soon,” “Congratulations On The Great Victory,” and “Birthday Of The Führer” cards for use across Hitler’s regime. “While we cannot erase the fact that our products helped Nazis celebrate their most special occasions, we hope to make reparations through our present actions. To those who suffered at the hands of the Gestapo while their stormtroopers were heartened and uplifted by Hallmark-brand “Keep Up The Good Work” cards: We sincerely hope you—and the world—can forgive us.” Hallmark also announced that the company would be sending all Holocaust survivors the condolence cards they deserve and sadly, never received.

Did you ever notice that OAN is like a stock ticker for The Onion? Hmm.

Made me stop scrolling

This early? 🤡

Hallmark:Deutsche Mark. What’s the difference?!

Another “rally”

ShannonSharpe hallmark

Hail hallmark!

About time!

Ah, yes! The Mein heart collection.

Cheese & Rice

The Final Salutation

Burgermeister Meisterburger cards were a favorite of Goebbels.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really caused a furor, didn't it?

“‘ Have a good one’?”

Aw heil no!

The Auschwitz card was maybe a mistake, in hindsight.

Hallmark could have made Goodbye cards filled with pictures of people punching Nazis but they fucking didn't

'Roses are red, Violets are NEIN. I would be happy, If you would be MEIN'

So that's how it started

What history remembers is they seemed to want them.

Better late than Nazi, er, never.

More like Heilmark, amiright?

Adolf, Wishing you a happy Chanukah!

Heil Merry Xmas!

Hitler has a good haircut

'The roses are dead the grass is brown. We sure can tell Hitler's been around.'

They bought 6 million of these cards. It was their best seller.

Uh, why does it look like the guy directly behind Hitler is masturbating, and the man next to him is watching? Wtf?

Heilmark?

'You'll be führer-ever in my heart!'

Dear Mein Fuhrer, Thinking of you at this difficult time, And all the difficult times that lay ahead you evil, murdercunt Yours, Winston

😂😂😂

too soon

This is a goose-step in the right direction.

They couldn’t tell Reich from wrong.

Fascism, is so seductive appealing to losers that wanna be in charge. Giving them sexy uniforms, secret handshakes and codes of self-importance. Hallmark, shouldn't have to apologize for being misled by such acts of deception.

Oh nein you didn't

Trying to take the moral heil ground, are they? Disgraceful...

More like Heilmark, am I reich?

That’s not Reich. 🤪

wait until the hallmark channel christmas movie starring hitler

‘Happy now? You crazy fuck’

I don't accept. This sin can not be forgiven
