‘Hitler’ paintings fail to sell at auction

GERMANY: 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 city of Nuremberg, possibly over fears they could be fakes. The Nuremberger Nachrichten newspaper reported that no bids were received on the paintings.

As a young man, Hitler is thought to have painted some 2,000 pictures.
