Hitler speeches sold for US$40K at auction
A nine-page handwritten speech by Nazi leader Adolf Hitler sold at auction for US$40,300 today.
The sale went ahead despite protests from some Jewish groups that the speech notes could encourage neo-Nazis.
The auctioneer, the Hermann Historica, stood by its decision to sell the manuscript, claiming that they held historical significance and should be preserved in a musesum.
The pre-World War II documents were all bought by anonymous bidders for well above their starting prices.
