Berlin police seize 3 Hitler paintings as possible fakes

None

BERLIN -- Berlin police say three watercolor landscapes allegedly painted by a young Adolf Hitler are being examined by experts to determine if they are fakes.

 

Police spokesman Martin Halweg said Friday the paintings were seized from a city auction house before they could be sold after they had received a complaint questioning their authenticity.

 

The paintings, dated 1910 and 1911 and signed "A. Hitler," were due to be auctioned Thursday. Halweg says they're now being examined by forensic specialists and art historians.
