Adolf Hitler's personal telephone, which the Fuehrer used to dictate many of his deadly World War II commands, will hit the auction block this weekend, the US house selling it announced.
It would be impossible to find a more impactful relic than the primary tool used by the most evil man in history, the auction house said in a statement.
Rayner's son inherited the phone and is selling it, its paint now peeling to reveal its original synthetic black resin surface.
It said Hitler used it to give most of his orders during the last two years of World War II.
Russian officers gifted the device to British Brigadier Sir Ralph Rayner during a tour of the bunker shortly after Germany's surrender.
Alexander House dubbed the phone which Hitler received from the Wehrmacht, Nazi Germany's armed forces as arguably the most destructive 'weapon' of all time, which sent millions to their deaths.
Auction house Alexander Historical Auctions estimates its worth between $200,000 and $300,000.
Originally a black Bakelite phone that was later painted crimson and engraved with Hitler's name, the relic was found in the Nazi leader's Berlin bunker in 1945 following the regime's defeat.
