Nazi auction includes Hitler’s socks and Hermann Goering’s 45-inch silk Y-fronts
The quirky sale also features X-rays of the Fuhrer and a selection of Eva Braun’s dresses
An auction house is selling a collection of Nazi memorabilia which includes Adolf Hitler’s socks and a pair of Hermann Goering’s silk underpants - priced at a bargain £400.
The delicate briefs have an enormous 45-inch waist band and were worn by the trendy fascist during his days in charge of the Third Reich.
German auctioneers Hermann Historica has a whole host of Nazi memorabilia on sale including Hitler’s crockery and a tax assessment form for his beloved dog Blondie.
Along with Goering’s oversized pants, admirers of far-right fashion can also buy a pair of the Luftwaffe commander’s fetching leather boots.
Co-owner of the Munich auctioneers Wolfgang Hermann said the sale, which is titled ‘Hitler and the Nazi leaders – a look into the abyss of evil’, is not intended for fans of the anti-semitic party which ruled Germany from 1933 till 1945.
He said: “This collection allows museums and collectors to acquire highly interesting pieces relating to Nazism and World War II.
We are completely aware of the disastrous German history from this period and strictly reject all Nazi and Neo-Nazi buyers.”
The huge collection belonged to American historian and doctor John K. Lattimer who wrote 'Hitler’s Fatal Illness and Other Secrets of Nazi Leaders' in which he claimed the Fuhrer was secretly suffering Parkinson’s disease.
Other interesting items in the auction include X-Rays of Hitler’s body, taken following an attempt on his life in 1944, which have a starting price of £700.
Dresses belonging to the dictator’s bride Eva Braun are also on sale along with the cyanide phial Goering used to kill himself the night before he was set to be hanged at Nuremberg for war crimes.
Collectors can also get their hands on a section of the rope used to kill Jew-hating journalist Julius Streicher who founded racist newspaper Der Sturmer.
