Occupying Russian officers gave the phone to a British officer, Brigadier Ralph Rayner, during a visit to Hitler’s bunker in Berlin.
The officer’s son is now selling the red phone with a Nazi party symbol and Hitler’s name engraved on the back.
The phone used in vehicles and trains as well as in Hitler’s field headquarters.
The handset of the phone must be rotated almost 60 degrees before it can be lifted out of its cradle.
