The $7,500 Nazi knickers: Has a pair of Eva Braun's monogrammed underwear wound up in an Ohio antiqu
An antiques shop in a tiny Ohio town is boasting a big item: a pair of Eva Braun's French silk panties complete with monogrammed 'EB.'
The question of the underwear's authenticity remains, but the 'firm' $7,500 price tage certainly suggests they are the real thing.
And that's the line being toed by not only the owner of Mantiques in Elmore, but also the 84-year-old retired Air Force major who sold it to him--a man who gives a tale of the Nazi knickers' provenance so enthralling, everyone seems to want it to be true.

Snyder sold Scarango the underwear with a letter of authenticity he wrote himself and included with it a book he wrote titled, Treasure Troves of the Third Reich.
So where did Snyder get the knickers? From a man he says was serving in the U.S. military and present during the 1945 liberation of Berchtesgaden, a region of the Alps where Hitler's Berghof residence was located.
