A British soldier’s war trophies, stolen from Nazi troops — including the last written words from mass murderer Heinrich Himmler — have sold for almost $9,000.

Hitler’s henchman Himmler posed as an ordinary soldier and used fake documents in a bid to flee the Allies following Germany’s defeat in 1945.
