Bed linen, once owned by Adolf Hitler, was sold under the hammer in the UK for 2,000 pounds, the equivalent of $3,200. The set, consisting of a sheet and a pillowcase, is decorated with a monogram in the shape of an eagle, which is a symbol of the Third Reich, the swastika and the initials of the Reich Chancellor “A.H”.
The fate of the Fuhrer's bed linen is unknown; it is believed that the sheet and pillowcase were taken from Hitler's house by one of the staff.
Hitler's bed linen was sold by Dreaweatts as part of a wartime sale in Bristol. The item was purchased online by a buyer who chose to remain anonymous.
According to Stella Lyons, one of the auction staff, the look of the underwear leaves much to be desired. It has a stain on it, and overall it looks pretty old.
