Go to: "A Row of Cottages," is one of the many landscapes that were part of the auction, which attracted about 50 curious onlookers. People who buy Hitler artifacts are typically military buffs who collect memorabilia or World War II-era items, art dealers and auction houses said. Curious auction attendee Mike Palmer, 51, indicated the paintings aren't as disturbing as one might think. "This was not Hitler the military man or Hitler the dictator who had done these paintings and drawings," Palmer said.
