Trouble is brewing for retailer J.C. Penney after it unveiled a teapot that’s a dead ringer for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Commuters in southern California have been left bewitched by the billboard of the stainless steel kitchen essential that bears a remarkable resemblance to the former German dictator.

Several drivers have posted snaps on Twitter of the 10-by-36-foot ad — which towers over Interstate 405 near Culver City.

One user wrote: “Every time I see that JC Penny billboard with the teapot, I keep seeing Hitler. Seriously, the thing looks exactly like Hitler, 405 S, man.”

Another added: “Uh, no thanks, JC Penny. I don’t think I want your HITLER teapot.”
