A pair of silk frilly knickers worn by Adolf Hitler's mistress Eva Braun to make herself attractive to the Nazi dictator have been revealed after 70 years
+6
Eva Braun met Hitler in 1929 when she was 17 and he was 40, and became his lover
+6
By 1936 she was part of his household, but did not attend official events with him. They died in a double suicide when the Nazi war effort was lost
The soldier kept the Nazi swas-knickers as a souvenir and took them back to the US with him after the Second World War.
They changed hands twice before being bought by a British collector of militaria who is now selling them for an estimated £450 at an auction in Malvern, Worcs.
The pants have a white lace and ribbon trim and are in keeping with 1940s fashion.
According to auctioneer Sophie Jones, they have signs of wear but are otherwise in good, clean condition.
The same vendor is also selling a red lipstick that also once belonged to Braun. It is in a silver lipstick case that also bears the initials 'EB' which have been engraved into it.
The rectangular case is intricately decorated with flowers and scrolling leaves and has a small mirror on the inside of the lid.
The silver holder inside the case still has Braun's bright red lipstick in and has remained untouched for over 70 years.
And a gold cluster ring that also belonged to her and was pocketed by the American soldier at the end of the war is being sold.
The ring, which is set with an opal surrounded by six rubies, is valued at £300.
The ring and the underwear would have been taken shortly after Braun and Hitler committed suicide after marrying in the Nazi monster's bunker in Berlin at the end of the war.

Two silver oval dressing table boxes and this silver jug, all with her initials engraved, are part of the lot
Auctioneer Miss Jones said: 'All of these items belong to a British collector who has had them for many years.
'The undergarments have signs of use but there are no holes and are very clean.
'They are a very pale lilac and have faded with age.
'There is a market for this sort of thing that exists and it will be very interesting to see who they end up selling to.'
Two silver oval dressing table boxes, a silver jug and silver mounted pendant that all have the initials of EB engraved on them are also being sold at the same auction.
Eva Braun met Hitler in 1929 when she was 17 and he was 40, and became his lover.
