British Auction House: Give Us Your Nazi Memorabilia, We’ll Happily Sell It

Just in time for Iran’s “we’re going nuclear” festivities, comes this charming story:


Twenty-one watercolors and sketches attributed to Adolf Hitler are to be sold by a British auction house Sept. 26, officials said Friday. Ian Morris, auctioneer at Jefferys Auctioneers at Lostwithiel in Cornwall, southwest England, said the pictures were made when Hitler was a soldier serving in Flanders during World War I. The pictures, mostly pallid landscapes, are not regarded as adept, but the auctioneers say some could sell for up to $8,000 apiece.

Official endorsement of Nazi memorabilia. You know, we’re beginning to think that Europe is getting a little too comfortable with their relationship to the Holocaust. Guilt unto the n-th generation is obviously unreasonable, but memory is not too much to ask.
