A rare bottle of Nazi wine complete with a portrait of Adolf Hitler on the label has sold at auction for £3,995.
The bottle was from a collection understood to have been given to Hitler's officers during the Second World War.
The Fuhrerwein dates back to 1943 and has a picture of the dictator on the label dressed in a suit. Because it is so old it is undrinkable.
The lot, which attracted worldwide interest, was expected to fetch only £500-800 when it went under the hammer in Plymouth.
The auction ended with the final bid at £3,400 but the total is higher after the buyers' premium is added.
A spokeswoman for Plymouth Auction Rooms said bidding for the bottle was "vigorous" in the room and over six telephone lines.
The successful telephone bid came from an unnamed collector.
Before the sale, auctioneer Paul Keen said: "I have never seen or heard about anything like this in my 20 years as an auctioneer.
"Not only is it unusual, it is also extremely rare to find.
"It is the sort of thing which should appeal to collectors of Nazi wartime memorabilia.
"We understand that these bottles were given out to Hitler's top-ranking officers on his birthday."
