Toilet paper issued to Hitler’s army expected to fetch £100 a roll at auction

TOILET paper issued to Hitler’s Turd Reich army is to go under the hammer at an auction in Dublin.

The roll was to be used by Hitler’s Wehrmacht army which included the Loo-fwaffe airforce.

It is in “remarkably unused condition” and “still intact in its original printed wrapper”, even though it was a “wartime luxury”, according to Whyte’s auctioneers.

The Edelweiss-branded Klosettpapier (toilet paper) will be for sale on September 17 at Whyte’s gallery, Molesworth Street, Dublin 2

The bogroll is expected to command a fee of between €80 and €120.

Soldiers’ helmets, minefield warning flags and a police dagger are also among the German items which were amassed by a private Irish collector and are now up for grabs.

Head of Collectables Stuart Purcell said: “We had a German World War II helmet on sale in March which sold for €10,000 and the guy whose collection it is was one of the bidders.

“The private collector’s raison d’etre in the early days was to try and collect the kit of the average World War II soldier – everything from what he used for cleaning his gun to his butter dish.

“It is fascinating that someone in 1945 would say: ‘We will put that toilet paper aside because someone will find that interesting in the future.’

“You would have thought it would have been used during the war.”

Asked why someone would have a Nazi collection, Mr Purcell explained: “The people who collect these items are usually serious collectors. For some people though it is like collecting stamps.

“If they weren’t still collecting it, in a generation’s time people would say we don’t have anything to show as nobody bothered to collect it.

“There are WW2 paratrooper helmets and a number of Waffen SS helmets, which are very rare.

“We also have a Nazi railway police dagger which is rare and is on at €1,500 to €2,000.”
