Ill-judged use of Nazi imagery on the cover of The Guardian’s Guide was apparently to blame for a decision to pulp the entire print run of last Saturday's edition.

Saturday is The Guardian’s biggest sale of the week meaning more than 300,000 copies of the pocket-size supplement were ditched.

The Independent reports that The Guide was scrapped because of the use of Nazi imagery to illustrate a feature about TV series The Man in the High Castle, about a fictional Nazi occupation of America.
