Adolf Hitler's henchman had a very spiky script, as the postcards he sent to his mum reveal.
The content is typically banal. 'Dear Mum, Here in Warsaw having a lovely time. Right mess outside the hotel, though. Looks like a bombsite. Some interesting churches and castles. Saw some great runes. Locals aren't very friendly.'
The postcards were from a cache of documents taken from Himmler's holiday home in southern Germany by a US serviceman after the war ended. Not sure, though, why he had the postcards at his home when he'd sent them to his mother. Maybe forgot to post them.
The collection of postcards is expected to sell for around £40,000 at auction.
