Hitler's Goddaughter's Christening Gown

From the May 20, 2010, Telegraph UK.

It's embroidered with swastikas and was worn by Herman Goering's daughter Edda at the ecermony in 1938 and blieved to be a present from Hitler himself.  In a photo from it, Hitler is seen holding the child as Reich Bishop Ludwig Muller conducted the ceremony.

The dress was kept by one of Goering's maids, Frieda Zychski, and now owned by a collector who was selling it at Mulloch's Auction House in Ludlow, Shorpshire and expected to fetch around 7,000 pounds.

Goering was the head of the German air force, the Luftwaffe.

Edda is still alive and thought to be living in South Africa.
