I thought it was illegal to be, say, or have anything openly Nazi in Germany. How can they so openly be doing the "Heil Hitler" in their ads?

A lawsuit was already started over this. The AfD's stance is that they can't see a Hitler salute here, and anyway, the picture was created by a media agency they hired.

They will argue that it was supposed to represent roof, even when, regarding their party's opinion, it most likely isn't.
