At an auction in Swindon, Wiltsire, in March, "pointer cards" went under the hammer for £11,700.

The six postcard-sized sheets, containing threats to the Jews, were put up for sale by 79-year-old Wing Commander Ronald Mason.

As a young airman in newly captured Berlin, he traded some cigarettes for the documents.

The surfacing of mementoes "liberated" by Allied servicemen has helped fuel a roaring trade in Nazi items.
