The panzer panties were said to have been sold to an antique shop owner by retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Charles Snyder. The not too trendy under shorts are made of silk, with a very high waist and a bit of frill around the edges.
Monogrammed on the unides are the initials “EB.” The price is a historical bargain at $7,500.
However, not everyone is buying the authenticity of the dainties and how they ended up Ernie Scarango’s Ohio shop.
The New York Daily News reports Scarango claims he dropped another $3 million on artifacts from "1st Lt. D.C. Watts, who claimed to have been present during the 1945 liberation of Berchtesgaden, Hitler's Alps retreat."
The Daily Beast writes, "the tale starts on Hitler's mountaintop lair in the days after Nazi Germany crumbled to the Allies, and involves a mysterious American soldier, a controversial auctioneer, and a whiskey-distilling, panty-selling antique dealer in the tiny hamlet of Elmore."
