Topic: Hitler's Death

Cherry's Fine Guns, of Greensboro, is asking over $3 million for the pair; one a Walther PPK 7.65 calibre, was Hitler's suicide weapon, the other, a Walther Special Model 8, 6.35 calibre, is the gun used by Geli Raubal, Hitler's niece and lover, to commit suicide in his Munich apartment in September 1931.

This is just one of many claims on Hitler's possessions.

After a period of time Hitler's valet Heinz Linge, with Bormann at his side, opened the door to the study. Linge later stated that he immediately noted a scent of burned almonds in the small study - a common observation made when interacting with the Prussic Acid form of cyanide. The Hitlers were both sitting on a small sofa, Eva on the sofa's left, Adolf to the right. Eva's body slumped away from Adolf's. Adolf Hitler appeared to have shot himself in the right temple with a 7.65mm pistol which now lay at his feet. Blood was apparently dripping from the wound to his right temple onto the sofa and had made a large stain on the left arm of the sofa. Eva had no visible physical wounds, and Linge assumed that she had poisoned herself.
