Copy of "Mein Kampf" Signed by Hitler Sells for $64,850

[The Straight Story]

A two-volume signed set of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf" sold for more than $60,000 in an online auction Thursday — more than twice what the books had been expected to fetch. Eleven people bid on the books, which were published in 1925 and 1926, with the winning bid coming in at $64,850, including the buyer's premium, said the owner of Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles. A leather jacket owned by Hitler's armaments minister also sold Thursday for $10,068, NBC News reported. Hitler dictated the two-volume autobiography and anti-Semitic manifesto "Mein Kampf" to Rudolf Hess while behind bars for attempting to seize power. Selling Nazi memorabilia is prohibited in many European countries that saw the horrors of World War II.

1. Is that all?

I would have thought that Pat Buchanan could afford more.

2. I think he is holding out for the Audio version read by the author

4. You know,

if he watched a lot of Hogan's Heroes reruns, boned up on his Major Hochstetter impression and grew a little mustache, he could read it to himself.

3. I hope it was a Jew or a gay or a gypsy

who bought it to use as toilet paper - and made a public announcement about it.

5. First thing I thought of...Zimmerman's forgery of a painting went for more...

WTF would you want with this? I mean, put it on your coffee table as a decorative piece?
