Hitler painting could be yours

HITLER-PAINTING

A rare Hitler is up for auction and is expected to fetch at least $60,000 when the hammer falls at Nuremberg's Weidler auction house. Purchased in 1916, the watercolor depicts Munich's old city hall and is currently owned by two elderly sisters. The 11×8.5" work includes an original bill of sale and a letter confirming, in the 1940s, that it was an authentic Adolf Hitler painting; the artist had by then moved on to a career in politics and achieved a measure of public notability.
