Reader's letter: The walking stick that belonged to the philosopher Nietzsche For more photos of Hitler with the walking stick, go to our gallery and scroll down the thumbnails.	DAVID IRVING reports: "Hitler's secretaries confirmed to me that he used the walking stick which had once belonged to philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. "It may be the stick on offer here. It is certainly identifiable as his in many photographs, like Walter Frentz's famous photo of Hitler walking with Heinrich Himmler down a path near the Berghof (top left). The stick was rescued from the Berghof ruins after the RAF bombing raid on April 1945 - it has a three-inch scorch mark - by Wilhelm Mitlstrasser, the house-manager. He is seen in photographs with British collector John H. in the image below on the occasion in December 1993 when John H. purchased the stick. The stick has two or three identifying blemishes which can be seen in the comparison photo at bottom, and is offered for sale by the owner's widow with documents. (authenticity of this item is guaranteed)
