2020 - Droog Magazine periodical for investigative
journalism The strange business of selling fakes, forgeries and other concoctions attributed to Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and other Nazi criminals. Introduction Even
though the Hitler diaries scandal made it quite clear
that there were many fake Hitlers on the market, the
trade in the "authentic" Hitler watercolors and other
objects attributed to Hitler continued. Self-portrait of the “Führer” discovered Speyer, (spk / dpa) The West German
historian and Hitler biographer Werner Maser
discovered during scientific research two paintings
that Adolf Hitler allegedly painted According to
Maser, this is probably the only oil self-portrait
of Hitler that has ever come to light. The reverse
of the 58 x 41 centimeter portrait on cardboard
shows a copy of Sandro Botticelli's (1445-1510)
painting "The Young Man with the Red Cap."
Hitler never made oil paintings, let alone
oil self-portraits.
LONDON, Sunday (AAP). – Auctioneers in London next week will be expecting a record-breaking price for a hat - a hat that once belonged to Adolf Hitler. The hat is believed to have been worn by the German leader when he entered his bomb-proof shelter for the last days of World War II. Phillips, the auctioneers, expect it to fetch between £25,000 and £35,000 (SA56,830 and $A79,562) in the sale of memorabilia from both world wars, much of it brought home in the kitbags of returned soldiers. The auctioneers are convinced of the gold braided hat's authenticity, claiming there's documentation to prove a Nazi official took it from the bunker after Hitler's death. He was then relieved of it by an American intelligence officer who presented it to his girlfriend. The hat was sold in the United States 10
years ago and purchased by a German who now wishes
to sell it but wants to remain anonymous. Hitler's hat for auction. The Canberra Times, Canberra (Australia), 14-09-1987. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article122121891Aftermath
