Two copies of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto “Mein Kampf”, signed by the Nazi leader himself, are going under the hammer in Los Angeles.

They are inscribed to Josef Bauer, a German SS officer during World War Two.

Bidding in the online auction starts at 15,000 euros.

The owner of the auction house, Nate D. Sanders, who is Jewish, says although it is a “heinous” book it was a “piece of memorabilia, and a piece of history.”
