The apostrophe in "Nazi's". It's supposed to be just an "s" since it's plural, not possessive. :)

I was just about to say the same as the above two posters, and the mistake is made absolutely everywhere ;)

^ Yes - but it's also a link (practically invisible, thanks to WP's forum software) to an image of graffiti where someone thought it was necessary.
Wave your mouse pointer over the first two words and the pointer icon changes.
