A first edition of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," signed by the author, has been sold for £23,800 ($43,000).

The lot was sold with a signed portrait postcard of Hitler and a signed thank-you card from him.

Two other postcards, also in the lot, showed Hitler and British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain at Bad Godesberg in western Germany.

After the Hitler Diaries debacle, I wonder how they were sure of the provenance and the signature ?

There are two critical questions I have to ask.
Why would anyone fork over that much money for "Mein Kempf"? and secondly, Who would want to make money off such jargon?
