希特勒下达战令专用电话拍卖成交价逾24万美元

Adolf Hitler's telephone was sold at auction in the United States for $243,000. The winning bid was made by phone but the name of the bidder has not been released.

阿道夫·希特勒的电话于日前在美国以24.3万美元的价格拍出。投标人是通过电话中标的，但其名字未被公布。

The phone was presented to Hitler by the Wehrmacht and was used by the Nazi leader to issue most of his commands during the last two years of World war II, according to a description in the catAlog for Alexander Historical Auctions in Maryland.

根据马里兰亚历山大史料拍卖行的目录描述，这部电话是由纳粹德国国防军送给希特勒的，在第二次世界大战的最后两年，这位纳粹领导人就是通过这部电话发布的大部分命令。

The phone was recovered from the Fuhrerbunker in 1945 and has been kept in a box in an English country house ever since.

这部电话于1945年在希特勒地堡被找到，此后便一直被保存在英国农村房屋内的一个箱子里。

Made by Siemens as a black Bakelite phone, it was later painted red and engraved with Hitler's name and a swastika, the catalog says.

目录介绍道，它起初是由西门子制造的一部黑色胶木电话，随后被涂成红色，并刻上了希特勒的名字和纳粹标志。

The auction house describes the telephone as "Hitler's mobile device of destruction" and called it "arguably the most destructive 'weapon' of all time, which sent millions to their deaths around the world."

拍卖行将这部电话描述成“希特勒的破坏性移动设备”，并称其“毋庸置疑是史上最具破坏性的'武器'，它导致了全世界数百万人丧生。”

British officer Ralph Rayner recovered the phone from Hitler's bunker while visiting Berlin on the orders of Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery just a few days after the end of the war, according to the auction house.

据拍卖行介绍，英国军官拉尔夫·雷纳在战后几天奉菲尔德·马歇尔·伯纳德·蒙哥马利之命访问柏林时，从希特勒的地堡中找到了这部电话。

His son Ranulf Rayner, 82, inherited the phone after his father's death in 1977.

他的儿子、现年82岁的拉努夫·雷纳在其父亲1977年去世时继承了这部电话。

"My father didn't see it as a relic of Hitler's glory days, more a battered remnant of his defeat, a sort of war trophy," he told CNN. "He never thought it would become an important artifact."

“我的父亲并不将其视作希特勒辉煌岁月的一件遗物，它更像是希特勒战败的破旧遗物和自己的一个战利品，”拉努夫向CNN透露。“他从来没有觉得这部电话会成为一个重要的遗物。”
