The strange business of selling fakes, forgeries and other concoctions attributed to Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and other Nazi criminals, inclusive the trade in some authentic material. Content 'Hitler' in Cornwall
'Hitlers' at Graf Klenau The Munich based auction house Graf Klenau offered on
September 20, 1980, four alleged Hitler watercolors
and a drawing. Two of the watercolors were
landscapes of the Salzburg area, dated "1909" -
which means that these two are obvious fakes, as
Hitler made no watercolors at all in 1909, and made
no landscapes either. These works were offered for
12,000 D-Marks (unknown if this was the price for
both of them, or for each).
Hitlers sold for 41,000
D-Mark (Germany) According to the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad an American museum bought for nearly 45,000 guilders (approx. 41,000 D-Mark) three alleged Hitler watercolors at an Munich auction.
