A gold watch belonging to Adolf Hitler that was looted from his mountain hideout by a French soldier in the closing moments of the World War 2 has been controversially sold for £900,000.
The timepiece, which was manufactured by Swiss luxury watchmaker LeCoultre, features the Nazi leader’s initials, the Swastika and the regime’s notorious eagle logo.
It also bears three dates – Hitler’s birthday, the date he was appointed chancellor of Germany, and the date of the Nazi party’s 1933 election victory.
