London, Dec 10 (ANI): A brass desk where Hitler signed the Munich Pact before Second World War has fetched 423,000 dollars at an auction.
Over 1,000 rare relics from the Third Reich are going under the hammer in one of the biggest ever auctions of Nazi war items in Stamford, Connecticut.
Macabre items including a love letter written to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's secret accounts book and even the Nazi leader's personal desk are all part of the huge sale.
Top of the lots was the ceremonial brass desk belonging to Hitler, which the Nazi leader used at the signing of the Munich Pact, which preceded the Second World War.
According to the auction house, the desk is inscribed with 'AH' and includes inkwells and the Nazi crest of an eagle and swastika.
Other items in the extensive collection range are a photo from a Hitler Youth rally signed by Nazi leader Arthur Axmann, which is set to fetch 200 dollars, and Joseph Goebbel's handwritten love letters, which could fetch 9,000 dollars.
"People want souvenirs - I would even sell Hitler's moustache. For all intents and purposes the piece is sold for 423,000 dollars," the Daily Mail quoted Bill Panagopulos, President of the Stamford Alexander Auction House, as saying.
Andreas Kornfeld, who is also with the auctioneers, said that the buyer of the desk was a private U.S. west coast collector. (ANI)
