KFC sorry for Nazis’ terror burger push

-

KFC has apologised for an online alert urging people to order food to commemorat­e the 84th anniversar­y of Kristallna­cht.

The fried chicken chain faced an outcry after app users in Germany received the automated message.

It said: “Memorial day for the Reich pogrom night. Treat yourself to more tender cheese on your crispy chicken.”

KFC Germany said the alert was an “unplanned, insensitiv­e and unacceptab­le message, and for this we sincerely apologise”.

Nazis terrorised Jewish people in Germany and Austria on Kristallna­cht the Night of Broken Glass – on November 9, 1938, killing at least 91.
