Someone Bought Hitler’s Boxers for $6700
The public’s fascination with Adolf Hitler extends even to the underwear he wore. A pair of his monogrammed boxers was recently auctioned off for more than $6700, according to the International Business Times. The lucky new owner is an unnamed citizen who apparently does not want to be publicly associated with Hitler's drawers.
The undershorts, sold by Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland, were reportedly left behind after the dictator stayed at the Parkhotel Graz in Austria in April 1938. They may have been sent out for cleaning and then forgotten. (Sadly, this means we don't get to laugh at Hitler's skid marks.) The family who owned the hotel kept the underpants in pristine condition for almost 80 years. According to the IBTimes, the auctioneer who sold the boxers apparently screened potential buyers for any far-right political affiliations, ensuring that they would go to someone more interested in mocking the Führer's choice of butt-covering than paying tribute to the genocidal fascist.
The striped white linen is monogrammed with Hitler’s initials. The shorts are “surprisingly large,” according to the auction catalog, and they have loops sewn onto either side of the waistband that may have attached to the pants. Hitler was a notoriously shabby dresser, and liked to wear his clothing extra loose.
The fascination with the underpants of the Third Reich goes beyond just Hitler’s intimate apparel. The lacy underwear of his longtime mistress, Eva Braun, was sold for almost $4000 at a UK auction in November 2016. Maybe stamping out fascism requires the same technique as overcoming a fear of public speaking—you just have to imagine everyone in their underwear.

Plaque says he was born in Marion, which is true, but only 'cos his hometown of Fairmont was too small to have it's own hospital. It's just down the road. James Dean was born in same hospital and lived in same town. It's very small. There used to be a house refurbished in Fairmont that stood as the small town's museum. Half the house is dedicated to James Dean; the other half is dedicated to Garfield. It's pretty surreal. At least was. I think maybe the town now has a dedicated James Dean museum. I went and visited the farmhouse in the 1980s, where he lived a mile out of town, just made an impromptu uninvited visit, his relatives took me and my friends inside their barn and allowed us to pull a canvas cover off James' racing Porsche so we could take pictures of it. That's about all I know of the Garfield and the creator - that he lived in the same small town as Rebel Without a Cause. And that the state had no helmet laws, so Indianans rode around on their motorcycles in blue jeans and white t-shirts, no helmets, with packs of cigarettes rolled into sleeves at the shoulder, all looking like Fonzie & John Cougar Mellencamp replicants.
