Two pieces of Adolf Hitler's personalized bed linen, complete with swastikas and the Nazi leader's initials, are togetherexpected to fetch up to 3,000 pounds at a sale in Britain next week. A single white bedsheet and pillowcase embroidered with the image of an eagle perched on a swastika insidea circle, flanked by the initials, will be sold by auctioners Dreweatts in the southwestern English city of Bristol on Tuesday.
"It is extremely rare to find pieces of Hitler's bed linen embroidered with his personal motif and monogramcoming to the market," said Dreweatts militaria specialist Malcolm Claridge.
The items were bought in Germany by a private collector several years ago.
"After Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide in 1945, his housekeeper Anni Winterremoved a lot of personal items from his Prinzregentenstrasse apartment to save them fromlooters," Claridge said.
"In recent years, a lot of Hitler's personal possessions have begun to surface
on the auction market -- particularly in Germany," he added.
"We have put an estimate of2,000 to 3,000 pounds on Hitler's bed linen and we've already received a lot of interest."
