Hitler's P-38 for sale |
In this case, a $300 garage sale find is turning out to be worth millions, bidding expected to start at 25 million in fact during an auction at RareP38.com.
The working P-38, complete with 24 karat gold and blood stains on the holster, was liberated by a soldier from the 101st Airborne, Easy Company.
KNWA was able to get an interview with the local man willing to sell it:

Well done men!
