Cigars made for Hitler's deputy sold at auction

A collection of cigars made for Hitler’s deputy, Hermann Goering, has sold for £1,300.

The cigars, removed from the cellars of the Nazi officer’s home in Brandenburg, Germany, at the end of the Second World War, were expected to fetch between £800 and £1,200.

The boxes bear the words “Sondernfetigung Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering”, which means “Specially made for Reichsmarshall Hermann Goering”.
