BED linen which once belonged to Adolf Hitler is expected to fetch more than £3,000 when it goes under the hammer in Bristol next week.

A personalised single bed sheet and pillowcase slip, decorated with the dictator’s initials and the Nazi eagle and swastika, are to be sold by auctioneers Dreweatts on Tuesday.

They were once used on the beds at Hitler’s Prinzregentstrasse apartment in Munich.

Dreweatts’ militaria specialist Malcolm Claridge said: “After Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide in 1945, his housekeeper Anny Winter removed a lot of personal items from his Prinzregentstrasse apartment for safekeeping to save them from looters. Anny was Hitler's housekeeper for 16 years, from 1929 to 1945, and in recent years, a lot of Hitler's personal possessions have begun to surface on the auction market - particularly in Germany.”
