Adolf Hitler watercolours sold at British auction
Published September 28th, 2006
A collection of watercolours attributed to Adolf Hitler was sold for 118,000 pounds (224,000 dollars) at auction in Britain Tuesday.
Two protestors, one dressed as Hitler, stormed the sales rooms at Jefferys auctioneers in Lostwithiel, a small town in Cornwall in south-west Britain, but were removed by security guards.
The collection, which was discovered in 1986 in an attic suitcase in Belgium, near where Hitler served as a corporal in World War I, was sold for more than double its estimated worth of up to 50,000 pounds, the auction house said.
