A lost piece of history, Adolf Hitler's unterhosen, have been discovered in a remote inn in Bavaria. The innkepper, Helmut Arschgeige of Der Rote Schwanze Haus in the tiny village of Schwanzedorf, said "We have a lot of interest in this, and many peoples are coming to enjoy a traditional dinner and view the under-shorts. A full plate dinner for two persons is only 25 euro with nice music. A lovely time for all the family awaits" Der Rote Schwanze Haus also has a pair of Goering's nail scissors to interest visitors, and the bar staff sing madrigals at sunset every night.
The unterhosen are the second to be discovered with Hitler's name stitched into the back by his late wife, Frau Eva Hitler. (Hitler married Eva shortly before comitting suicide, although when she was handling his briefs she was not married, a fact that scandalised Berlin society) Experts claim Hitler was paranoid about loosing his underwear, or having them mixed up, during the wash. According to some sources Hitler personally sorted the washing and hung it on the washing line, sometimes seperating his garments from other peoples washing by a noticeable distance. One of the tenets of Nazi philosophy was that all clothes should be washed in a huge machine called a Frauwichser (washer woman) German women would sit on the machine in communal areas to protect the washing from thieves and there are many art works showing this. During the era of Weimar Germany theft from washing lines of ladies apparel was a particular problem and this was therefore second nature to the hausfrau by the time of Hitler's rise to power.
