Hitler art on sale

A series of watercolors by Adolf Hitler were set to go on sale at a British auction house yesterday.

The 13 landscapes, which include an apparent self-portrait showing a man with a side-parting sitting on a stone bridge, were due to be auctioned at Ludlow. The paintings were found in a garage earlier this year by the seller, who bought them from someone who found them in 1945, Richard Westwood-Brookes of auctioneers Mullock's said.
