Just in case you are interested, Adolf Hitler's telephone, recovered
from the Fuhrerbunker and kept in a box at an English country house
since 1945, will be sold at auction in the United States later this
month.According to a description in the catalog for Alexander Historical
Auctions in Maryland, the phone was presented to Hitler by the
Wehrmacht and was used by the Nazi leader to issue most of his commands
during the last two years of World War II.
Made by Siemens as a black Bakelite phone, it was later painted red and engraved with Hitler's name.
The auction house describes the telephone as "Hitler's mobile device of
destruction" and called it "arguably the most destructive 'weapon' of
all time, which sent millions to their deaths around the world."
The auction house estimates the phone will be sold for $200,000-$300,000.
