Close up of Hitler's antique phone worth over 5 billion dong

The phone used by Adolf Hitler in the World War II was sold for $ 243,000 (over VND 5.5 billion).

Adolf Hitler's red-haired phone was auctioned on February 19 at Alexander Historical Auctions, USA with a starting price of $ 100,000.

Hitler's phone sold for 5.5 billion.

At the end of the auction, Hitler's communications equipment was paid to $ 243,000 (about VND 5.5 billion). However, auction house Alexander Historical Auctions did not disclose who its owner is.

The red phone engraved with the name of the fascist was found in the bunker in Berlin in 1954. More than 70 years later, the phone peeled off red paint on the outside.

The auction house calls the phone the "most destructive weapon of all time" because it was used by Hitler to fulfill orders to take away the lives of millions of people during the war.

It is thought that this was the means of communication Hitler used to transmit the most orders in two years before World War II ended.
