Snub to ‘Hitler’ paintings

FIVE watercolours attributed to Adolf Hitler have failed to sell at auction.

The paintings, from his early days as a struggling artist, failed to sell in the German city of Nuremberg, possibly over fears they could be fakes.

Local media reported that no bids were received on the paintings, which had starting prices of between 19,000 euro (£16,600) and 45,000 euro (£39,300).
