CHESAPEAKE CITY, Md. (AP) - A Maryland auction house is selling Adolf Hitler’s personal traveling telephone.

Bill Panagopulos of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City says occupying Russian officers gave the phone to Brig. Sir Ralph Rayner during a visit to Hitler’s Berlin bunker. Rayner’s son is now selling the red phone with a Nazi party symbol and Hitler’s name engraved on the back.

The phone is estimated at $200,000 to $300,000 and Panagopulos says bidding will start at $100,000 this weekend.

Panagopulos considers the phone a “weapon of mass destruction,” noting that the orders Hitler gave over the phone took many lives.

2. Ugh! I'm glad my friends in Dallas aren't handling that one!

HA.com has auctioned off some weird stuff, but I'm glad they never tried to make any publicity over this object.

6. Belongs in a museum as a constant reminder that insane dictators can not be allowed to gain power.

Too many people are destroyed by their heinous behavior.
