"After May 8th 1945 the Russian troops plundered everything,” said Stelzer."

Well, almost everything.

I believe I would auction most of it off.

Hitler did not drink alcohol, or so I understood.

I thought Adolf was a teetotaler.

I would give it to a local Jewish group to drink after which they would piss all over Hitler’s mother’s grave.

Hitler was effectively a multi-billionare by today’s standards when you include all the art work he looted, book sales from Mein Kampf, which was required reading in Nazi Germany, not to mention all the gold and precious looted from the Jews and occupied countries.

Perfect.

With a lot of publicity.

What would a non-smoking, non-drinking vegetarian want with booze and cigs and salami? And the booze is the first thing the Red Army would have grabbed. I doubt this story.

I wonder what his family makes off sales of Mein Kampf? I still see it in just about every book store I go to.

I know he had a niece who was his heir. But that was back in the 60’s.

Can you imagine getting that check every quarter?

The rights to the Mein Kampf are owned by Israel I believe.

or something similar.

The copyright expires next January 1st. I guess those copies on the shelves will be in the remainder bin.

Nazis/Socialists/Fascists are very likely to do in private what they loudly decry in public.

Actually I saw a program on TV about Hitler’s relatives. He actually had a large number of nieces and nephews some of whom lived in the U.S. Most notable was Patrick Hitler.

I can’t imagine any army leaving alcohol untouched. Even the 101st Band of Brothers had quite a party at Hitler’s Eagles’ Nest mountain getaway.

...

The Clintons would be envious.
