This looks like a cautionary tale about automated marketing. Crafting a "celebrate $HOLIDAY with a bucket of chicken" seems to save an unnecessarily small amount of time while leading to this kind of embarrassment. It certainly doesn't look like it was malicious though, just stupid.
Nostalgically, I feel like there was a time when "holidays" were in a separate category from days of remembering an atrocity, so in the past this might have been safer. Though I can't really picture any holiday where KFC would be appropriate
Holiday != anniversary. Either this was deliberate or we really need to fix education especially since I highly doubt only one person saw this before it was put out.

Until KFC publishes a detailed incident report I'd be keen to assume this was done by more than one Nazi sympathizer.
