		</div><p>A telephone used by Adolf Hitler during the Second World War has been sold at auction for $243,000 (€228,889).</p>
<p>Andreas Kornfeld of Alexander Historical Auctions in Chesapeake City, Maryland, said it sold on Sunday afternoon to a person who bid by phone.<br />
The auction house does not disclose the names of buyers.</p>
<p>Bidding for the phone started at $100,000.</p>
<p>Occupying Russian officers gave the phone to a British officer, Brigadier Ralph Rayner, during a visit to Hitler&#8217;s bunker in Berlin.</p>
<p>The officer&#8217;s son is now selling the red phone with a Nazi party symbol and Hitler&#8217;s name engraved on the back.</p>
<p>The phone was used in vehicles and trains as well as in Hitler&#8217;s field headquarters.</p>

<p>The handset of the phone must be rotated almost 60 degrees before it can be lifted out of its cradle.<br />
This feature kept the handset from shaking loose while being transported</p>
<p>Mr Kornfeld said a porcelain figure of an Alsatian dog, also owned by Hitler, was also sold on Sunday to a different bidder for $24,300.</p>
