A rare wine bottle with Adolf Hitler's face is expected to fetch 2,000 pound in an online auction.
According to the Daily Star, the unique bottle, which was among the batch unopened 1.5-litre bottles given out to Hitler's staff on his 54th birthday in 1943, was presented to one of the Nazi dictator's high-ranking officers.

The wine, which is now undrinkable, has been in the same family ever since it was given to a Hungarian prisoner of war post the conflict.
