For just a few hundred thousand dollars, you can own one of the deadliest "weapons" of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler: the personal phone used to order millions of murders around the world.

Alexander Historical Auctions, based in Maryland, USA, has put Hitler's phone on the market. This red phone was given to Hitler by German electronics company Siemens with his own name and the Nazi swastika symbol engraved on the body.
According to Sputnik, the consignor of the auction of the “deadly” phone is a descendant of former British MP Ralph Rayner. In May 1945, on the occasion of the surrender of Nazi Germany, Mr. Rayner was sent to Berlin on a diplomatic mission.

As one of the first British officers to enter Hitler's Führerbunker in Berlin, Rayner, at the request of the Russian representative, chose Hitler's red telephone as a gift, instead of the black phone used by Hitler's wife Eva Braun.
“It’s a mobile phone, it moves around,” said Andreas Kornfield, international customer relations manager at Alexander Historical Auctions. “It was given to Hitler by Siemens. There’s only one of them.”
The phone is said to still be in working order. Alexander Historical Auctions estimates it will sell for between $200,000 and $300,000. The buyer will likely be a history buff, an antiques enthusiast, or perhaps a well-funded library.
