Welcome to the Normandy Military Museum in Catz, France. The museum opened three years ago and is going bankrupt, so all the old military gear is up for sale.
Former Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's Mercedes-Benz will go on auction at Worldwide Auctioneers in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 17. The 1939 Mercedes-Benz 770, is one of only 88 ever produced and was custom-built for Hitler. It was seized by Allied forces after the fall of Berlin in 1945. The car is expected to sell for several million dollars while 10 percent of the earnings will go to the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international Jewish human rights organisation.
Although these works of art look unremarkable at first glance, you might gasp after taking a look at the signature of the artist. The hand that drew these works belonged to none other than Adolf Hitler, the former dictator of Germany and Fuhrer of the Nazi party. Fourteen paintings created by the reviled Hitler will go to the highest bidder later in June in an auction hosted by Nuremberg-based Weidler auctioneers. The 14 paintings date back to around 100 years ago, when Hitler was still pursuing an artistic career, and most are signed by the far-right leader.
Although 72 years of peace have passed since Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union, there are still some that can recall those horrifying years of war. Veteran pilot Yakov Lomko remembers how Soviet Air Force troops turned propellers by hand in the freezing weather before taking off. He is able to marvel at today's modern Russian aviation technology through the use of virtual reality and see just how far technology has come.
A 250-year old waistcoat that once belonged to Captain James Cook was showcased at Aalders Auctions in Sydney on Monday. The unique piece of history is expected to fetch up to $1.1 million when it goes under the hammer this weekend. The embroidered silk waistcoat has attracted plenty of interest from both overseas and local collectors, according to Julian Aalders from Aalders Auctions.
This beautiful Ferrari F50 once belonged to former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson, and it will go up for auction at RM Sotheby’s Amelia Island Sale in Florida. The 1995 car is estimated to sell for between $2.2 million $2.4 million due to its “rarity and performance” and of course because it was once owned by Mike Tyson. 'Iron' Mike Tyson was well known for his extravagant purchases. Apart from his face tattoo and white Bengal tigers, the world renown boxer also had a fleet of luxury cars. In total, Tyson reportedly bought over 110 different cars, including Lamborghinis, Bentleys, Ferraris, Cadillacs, Rolls Royces, and Jaguars. He allegedly spent nearly $5 million on cars alone. The super rare and super low mileage Ferrari F50 formerly belonging to Mike Tyson will go on sale on March 11.
