A previously unknown postcard sent by Adolf Hitler when he was a soldier in World War I has been uncovered in a European history project.
Hitler's postcard, sent in 1916 when he was recovering from a war wound, was found in Munich, Germany.
Oxford University is providing expert advice to the Europeana 1914-1918 project which runs history roadshows.
When the postcard was identified, the university's Dr Stuart Lee said he "felt a shudder run through me".
"I found it hard to believe that at a local event to record ordinary people's stories, I was seeing a previously unknown document in Hitler's own hand," said Dr Lee.
'Unsettling'
He says that from his previous work as a medievalist he was used to "holding incredibly rare documents", but he says there was "something unsettling about this"
