How Hitler’s toilet ended up in America

Picture this: You’re an American solider at the end of World War II. You’re part of the forces in Germany storming the Eagle’s Nest, a getaway of Adolf Hitlers up in the mountains. You’ve seen this in Band of Brothers. You get to the top at long last, and it’s lootin’ time!

Other soldiers go for the fancy wine, art, silverware and trinkets, some of which no doubt once owned by wealthy Jewish families. Each G.I. is going for something worth some money, to bring home some spoils from the war, but you know what’s really worthwhile: Hitler’s toilet.

That’s what Sgt. Ragnvald Borch thought, and ever since, it’s been in the Borch family. Until now it had been hidden away. Now, the Borch family is releasing that toilet and its history.

If toilets could talk, right?
