Irving, 70, has turned to selling Nazi relics after he was forced into bankruptcy in 2002 following a failed libel action.

Controversial historian David Irving has set up a website selling Nazi memorabilia which he claims includes a piece of Hitler's bone and strands of his hair.

Dubbed 'Naz-eBay' by Holocaust groups, the site also offers a walking stick used by the German dictator and a christening present given by SS leader Heinrich Himmler to Luftwaffe commander Hermann Goering's daughter.

Irving, who was jailed in Austria for Holocaust denial, 'authenticates' the relics and displays them on his website run from his home in Windsor. He profits from the site by taking a 15 per cent commission fee on all items sold.

I highly doubt any of these artifiacts are real - how on earth could they have pieces of his bone and hair?

You're right!

According to the Russians they kept Hitler's half-burned remains in a number of years until they finally threw them in a river (I can't remember which). I saw a documentary about it, and all there's left is supposedly a piece of the skull and a jaw bone.

german ww2 memorabilia is very sought after and the most collested worldwide. i dont see a problem in that .not only the nazis committed war crimes,what the russians did in berlin is terrible,and the bombings of german cities also,im an englishman and now an american, im not a nazi ,but please look at both sides very close, before judging.
