This story is from 2015 but still amazing what one man can collect..like who has 88 tanks in they're collection...surprised he doesn't have the Luger that Hitler shot himself with. https://nypost.com/2015/06/27/meet-the-man-who-owns-the-worlds-largest-nazi-collection/
Not that surprising, Hitler shot himself with a Walther PPK. And we thought James Bond was the most famous PPK user.....
It's most likely either: Buried in the dirt under an apartment block or parking lot in Berlin Ended up being taken home by a solider, and now sitting in the attic of a grandpa's house. No one has any idea what it actually is, other than it is "something grandpa brought back from the war" .
Even if somebody came forward and claimed this is "thee gun" that killed Hitler..how do you prove it???..the serial number???...fingerprints from 75 years ago?? forensic testing of the barrel to match up with the missing bullet???..a unknown film of the event???..most likely we will never know...interesting topic. The Gun That Killed Adolf Hitler
Finland sold really bad wrecks of Stugs some 10years ago and got about 400,000 euros per tank. I guess he rebuilt them. But what a price for old wrecks. The buyer was from the US.
Gotta be some still buried in bogs or rivers throughout Europe...impossible to come across a "barn find" as it's hard to hide a 20 ton tank from your neighbors.
Does a "basement find" count? Second World War tank and anti-aircraft gun found hidden in basement of villa in Germany
