In his words, Hitler's book Mein Kampf ("My Struggle") is obligatory for any "self-respecting" Bulgarian flee market.
The author further reports he discovered busts of Adolf Hitler on sale in antique shops in the Black Sea resort of Sozopol and the southern city of Plovdiv, sold side by side with busts of communist revolution chief Vladimir Lenin.

Hitler's images and swastikas also reported to be sold on brand new clocks or paintings, compasses, and bottles. An "interesting" item is said to be a hunter's penknife with an inscription "Alles fuer Deutschland" ("Everything for Germany").
