An unidentified Jewish buyer paid $1.1 million for Hitler’s gold watch at a Maryland auction house. Original projections placed the watch selling for $2 million to $4 million, The Washington Post reported.
Auctioneers say the watch was probably given to Hitler on his birthday in 1933 and then taken from his home by a French soldier in 1945. Bill Panagopulos, the auction house’s president, confirmed the buyer was a European Jew and said outrage from Jewish leaders about the auctions has caused people to send death threats to his family. “Many people donate [Nazi artifacts] to museums and institutions, as we have done,” Pangopulous said. “Others need the money, or simply choose to sell. That is not our decision.” Read more at The Washington Post.
“That is not our decision.”
So ironic and telling that he used the very same excuse used by those who carried out Nazi murder saying we just followed orders and had no choice.
A: The excuse was “we were following orders” – very different.
B: What, exactly, do you want from the guy handling the auction? “Sorry, we won’t sell this for you”?
After paying $1.1 million for the watch, the buyer took the watch home, and realized there was no battery in the watch. He quickly phoned the auction house to complain.
“You sold me the watch without the battery!” he told the auction employee.
“Sorry about that, the employee said, “we’ll be more than happy to sell you the battery that Hitler used for that watch for an additional $1.1 million.”
“Does the battery still work?” the buyer asked him.
“No,” the auction fellow replied, “and neither does the watch. But for an additional $25 million, Hitler’s personal watch repairman will fix both the watch and the battery for you.”
You have earned your name
Thanks. And it didn’t cost me a cent.
The yid got a good deal.
This story made me vomit. I hope this cold-blooded heartless Jew loses the watch and his leftover money which he doesn’t deserve.
Why would anyone (especially Jewish) want to buy such a thing?
“Not our decision”???? It’s your decision to put it up for auction!! There is a reason why some random auction house in Maryland sold it and not Sotheby’s or Christie’s!
There will always be a buyer.
Why not comment or like my comment instead of duplicating it?
The gold used, is from Yidden having the gold ripped out of their mouth.
Maybe he bought it with the intent of publically destroying it, possibly burning it and scattering the ashes down the toilet or something. I just hope he hides his face and all identifying features so no meshugene can ever tell it’s him.
Or maybe bec he can make a fortune off of it. Stop being so offended and let the oilum make a little cash.
