    At an auction in Swindon, Wiltsire, in March, "pointer cards" went under the hammer for £11,700.

    The six postcard-sized sheets, containing threats to the Jews, were put up for sale by 79-year-old Wing Commander Ronald Mason.

    As a young airman in newly captured Berlin, he traded some cigarettes for the documents.

    The surfacing of mementoes "liberated" by Allied servicemen has helped fuel a roaring trade in Nazi items.

    In addition to that. Recently according to "Tals of the Gun" TV series on the History Channel. The Walther PPK that had been given to Hitler on his 50th Birthday and which was supposedly the one he committed suicide with--sold a few years ago for a paltry $15,000 but then has since been re-sold for $225,000.
