Owner59 -> Hitler`s desktop globe,sells for 115 grand (11/14/2007 8:54:53 PM)

John Barsamian, 91, said he took the globe as a souvenir after entering Hitler's Berghof residence in Obersalzberg in southern Germany as a U.S. Army soldier. He decided to sell this year as he advanced in age.

I take it he will also now be facing a court martial for looting?

Thats the sort of nonsense he'd get if he'd been a British soldier anyway

I would have.

Yes - one of the most evil men in history perhaps. But also one of the most interesting historical figures of recent times.

And, its only going to increase in value since many more freakazoids will want it in the future.

Have you seen some the junk people sell on Ebay? You wouldn't believe what people pay money for.

I would have to if I had that kind of extra cash. That seems like a steal from an investment standpoint, to boot I find anything WWII interesting. I'd buy a piece of history before I'd buy a painting, or sculpture.
