Hitler's wife's lovely lilac knickers fetch £2,900 at auction (Not Hillary, Eva Braun)
The Register ^ | Nov 7, 2016 | Alexander J. Martin

An old pair of knickers have been sold at auction for £2,900 (about $3,600.00 USD).

The lilac panties belonged to Eva Braun, the mistress who married Adolf Hitler before she committed suicide by cyanide capsule as Nazi Germany faced collapse in April 1945. It is unlikely she was wearing them at the time.

Originally expected to bring in £400, the silk knickers were sold for £2,900 when they went under the hammer at the Philip Serrell auction room in Malvern alongside some other personal items belonging to Eva Braun and monogrammed with her initials.

The knickers were reportedly found by an American serviceman in an abandoned bunker in the Platterhof Hotel, near to Hitler's home in the Bavarian Alps. They eventually made their way into the hands of a British military memorabilia collector.

They were purchased at the Malvern auction by a private collector, who was not identified. The Register does not know if the buyer is equally interested in the undergarments of the Allied leaders' wives.

I’ve thought of so many tasteless jokes about this. None suitable for polite company.

You're not the only one.

Frankly the tasteless jokes worry me less than the "tasty" ones...

We're polite??? But yes, we are a family site...

Well, those are German.

You know what they say about British girl’s knickers, right?

“One Yank and they’re off!”

It IS all about the election at this point. In fact I can't think of anything LESS pertinent to current events than the going rate of Nazi knickers.

Yes, I am climbing the walls.

Scanning the headline, I read it as Hillary’s knickers first, then hit “Not Hillary...”.

Speaking of Monica, I wonder if there are any DNA samples left in Eva's panties...

Does the buyer have a secret Brazilian lab? The last thing we need are Hitler clones running around in 20 years.
