Two signed watercolours by Adolf Hitler are set to be sold later this month at auction in Nuremberg in southern Germany, scene of the Nazi war crimes trials, a local paper reported Thursday.

The two paintings -- entitled "Farmstead" and "Farm Buildings On The River" date from 1914 and would go under the hammer on April 25, the daily Nurnberger Abendzeitung said.

The bidding was due to start at 3,500 euros (4,600 dollars), according to a catalogue published by the Weidler auction house, which is putting the works up for sale.

Hitler, now there was a painter. He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon, TWO COATS!

LOL! "The Producers" was a funny movie. The Nazis were deadly serious, like cancer is deadly serious, but it is healthy to mock the bad guys once in a while.
