The parents seem like they would meet the criteria for Lebensunwertes Leben.

When I worked at Foodtown we made cakes with no problem, but if there was nobody there who could do the lettering we explained that to the customer. It was a small neighborhood FT so most of the people just did their own, especially after they saw my handwriting.

I think this guy wanted to create a little controversy so he could make himself look like some kind of poor, oppressed martyr whose right to free expression is being squelched. Why else would he insist on the kid's full name being on the cake? If he had just asked for "Happy Birthday Adolf" just like a normal person would ask for "Happy Birthday Jennifer" or "Happy Birthday Michael" there probably wouldn't have been any issues at all.
