I had a couple Nazi things I found at a garage sale. Ebay won’t let you sell them. Had to go to a dealer.
I have the other end, lots of yellow stars. Didn’t know what to do with it.
I finally framed each one with documents of each survivor in the family.
I like to look at it whenever I feel sorry for myself for anything.
Wife calls it the “don’t be a p—sy” wall and makes the girls go stand in front of it when they are acting like twits about something.
Nice ;)
That sh¡t belongs in a museum.
Check
It’s still creepy to own something belonging to a satanic genocidal maniac and there is no place in my house for such a thing.
Probably belongs in a war museum
They should’ve known this would cause a furor.
I told people that I bought the watch but, Allied.
Maybe Margaret Sanger’s watch will also come up for sale.
To say this was Hitler’s watch might be a stretch. If there was any photo of him wearing it I’m sure the auction house would have included it but likely there isn’t any. It was a gift to him by some admirer at the time. This falls into a category of gifts famous people get but probably never use personally. World leaders and other celebs get tons of such stuff. We know that Hitler wasn’t wearing it daily near the end since this was found at his summer house in Bavaria and Hitlers last days were in the Bunker in Berlin.
The watchmaker also had the initials A.H. (So did Alexander Hamilton). But the swastika and the significant dates show that it was Hitler’s watch. Of course the French soldier didn’t have any legal right to take it—he was just looting the house.
Maybe it’s Andreas Huber - sort of like CK on a shirt is “Calvin Klein.”
I’m still suspicious about it. There’s actually 3 dates on it, the third being March 5, 1933 (Federal elections in Germany).
I don’t disagree with you.
But it’s the owner of the watch who gets to make that decision.
We’re not commies who take control over private property.
Yet, anyway.
