YouTube is removing a popular spoof starring Adolph Hitler.

For years a scene from Downfall in which Hitler (Bruno Ganz) meets with his generals near the end of World War II has become a popular vehicle for expressing frustration for everything from Microsoft Windows to Kanye West. The spoofs have been seen by millions of viewers worldwide.

Constatin Films, which owns the rights to 2004 German film, complained of a copyright infringement and has asked YouTube to remove the scenes from its site. The popular video-viewing site is complying with the request.

While fans may be disappointed in the removal of the clips, activists are content.

Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, told The Associated Press the league was "delighted" the offensive videos were being pulled.

"We feel that they trivialize not only the Holocaust but World War II," said Foxman. "Hitler is not a cartoon character."

YouTube, which is owned by Google, has maintained a policy to remove any videos that may infringe on copyright at the copyright holders request. Downfall spoofs may still be seen on YouTube as it may take days for the site to remove all the videos.
