Photos: AP/DPAThe head spokesman for Chancellor Angela Merkel has condemned White House press secretary Sean Spicer after he said that Hitler "didn't even sink to using chemical weapons." Merkel's spokesman on Wednesday said contemporary comparisons with Nazi atrocities were generally ill-advised, after White House press secretary Sean Spicer apologized for an "insensitive" Hitler analogy. This isn't the first time that Germany has stepped in to comment on a Nazi comparison made under Donald Trump's administration. In January before Trump took office, the Republican leader said that the leak of a dossier containing unsubstantiated allegations against him was "something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do".
