I just wonder why anyone would bother spending $8500 on Hitler's coffee pot...:hmm:

It could be a nice investment- wait lets say 20 years and the price will most likely skyrocket beyond belief

The S-134 Mark I United States Navy Deck Clock Dated 1943 Would be great to have over my computer for SHIV.

For SHIII I would like the S-102 Kriegsmarine “Officer of the Day” Breast Device. At least the crew would know who's the boss, and they would stop following Bernard!!!

For all the other hitler suff, Burn it!!

Nah. Put it in a Museum, so people can see it for a Very Long time. Those who do not Learn from History are Doomed to Repeat it. Again. And Again.

And yes, i've stolen this from a Movie.

I don't think a Adolf Hitler candle stick or shoe horn has much historical importance. There are plenty of good displays that show how and why on Nazi Germany that use photos, film, interviews and so forth.

It's not they I'm tring to change or edit history, you don't have to look to far to see were making the same mistakes again and again, I just think there are better ways of remembering.

We were told "Never forget" the genocide caused by Nazi Germany. If you read any of the papers today, the answer would be "We failed"

I've been aboard his yacht which now resides in Naples, Italy. He stole it from the Dutch during the war, and the Brits took over it after the war. It is now owned by some British Novelist. He has kept it in mint condition and it still had the original four knobbed-footed cast iron bathtub in it as well as a mirror that Hitler himself used to shave his face with that small God awful mustache. It was creepy just being onboard it. The shipyard that my Admirals yacht was at during the winter months let me go aboard it for a small tour as they maintain it's condition.
