The knickers belong to Ernie Scarango, the owner of Mantiques, who claims he bought them from Charles Snyder, an avid collector of WWII memorabilia. Mr Snyder claims that he bought the underwear from a soldier who was serving in the US military and was part of the group that liberated Berchtesgaden, a region containing Hitler’s Berghof home. | The knickers belong to Ernie Scarango, the owner of Mantiques, who claims he bought them from Charles Snyder, an avid collector of WWII memorabilia.

The Independent was unable to verify these claims and the underwear was sold to Mr Scarango with a letter of authenticity signed by Mr Snyder. | The Independent was unable to verify these claims and the underwear was sold to Mr Scarango with a letter of authenticity signed by Mr Snyder. |
