Documents on Hitler's time in jail in 1924 being auctioned in Germany
Published November 17, 2014
BERLIN (AP) — Some 500 documents from the prison that held Adolf Hitler in 1924 documenting the future dictator's time behind bars are being auctioned in Germany.
The papers from the Landsberg prison were recently found by a Nuremberg man among the possessions of his late father, who had purchased them at a flea market in the 1970s.
They're being sold at an auction house in the Bavarian city of Fuerth with a starting price of euro25,000 ($30,677).
Though only one document is signed by Hitler himself, and much of the information about his time in prison is otherwise available, they do provide an intriguing window into his early days as Nazi leader.
They show he had hundreds of visitors — sometimes unsupervised — including some 30 to 40 to celebrate his 35th birthday.
