Nazis' crimes 'trivialized'Wednesday's auction in Munich was organised by Hermann Historica, one of the auction houses to have picked up business in Nazi memorabilia the main houses have steered clear of. Many of the items belonging to top Nazi leaders were seized by US soldiers in the final days of World War II.

He suggested that the items of Nazi memorabilia "should be burned" but added that "historians think they should be kept as part of the collective memory".
