(ANSA) - BELGRADE, JUL 30 - According to the BBC, a watch
believed to have belonged to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler sold for
$1.1 million (£900,000) at an auction in the United States. The
Huber timepiece, which was sold to an unidentified bidder,
features a swastika and the initials AH engraved on it. Before
the auction at Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland, Jewish
leaders condemned it. However, the auction house, which has
previously sold Nazi memorabilia, told German media that its
goal was to preserve history. (ANSA).
