Rightmove listing taken down after Nazi memorabilia collection spotted in advert The house, in Lincs, was put up for sale via Purple Bricks, with the owners inviting ‘offers in region of £190,000’ earlier this month - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments A house for sale listing has been taken down by Rightmove and Zoopla having caused an online sensation after a collection of Nazi memorabilia was spotted in the study. The £190,000 three-bedroom semi in a "sought after" Lincolnshire village was advertised for sale on the online house sales platforms via estate agents Purple Bricks, but was taken down this week after viewers realised a collection of Nazi artifacts was shown in one of the listing photos and a 360-degree video tour. The collection included a "Waffen SS" propaganda poster and a dummy done up in Nazi gear, as well as an historic rifle, bayonets, helmets and a bronze eagle with an embossed swastika. Online commentators compared it to the episode of the sitcom Father Ted, during which Ted goes to collect a copy of a book he had given to Father Seamus Fitzpatrick, and is surprised to see his collection of Nazi and Third Reich memorabilia, including a live Nazi veteran. The house, in Lincs, was put up for sale via Purple Bricks, with the owners inviting "offers in region of £190,000" earlier this month. It was described as a "lovely semi-detached family home" in a "sought after village location." "A well presented semi-detached family home...with a great sized plot, ample parking and lots of potential to extend (STPP) early viewings are advised!" stated the listing. The listing was later revised to remove a photo showing one of the bedrooms packed with Nazi propaganda material, German uniforms, and weapons. However when the property was relisted, a 360 degree video walkthough of the house still showed the Nazi items. Commenting before the listing was removed this week, one online poster said: "Love this. Reduced the sale price and put different pics on the advert. Sadly, didn’t amend the 360 degree video - still showing the Nazi posters and banners in the bedroom." "He's probably just a Buddhist and wanted to display a symbol of peac... oh wow!" said another. "Reminded me of the Father Ted episode when Mrs Doyle puts out the Nazi memorabilia left to Ted in a will," another commented. "Are You Right There Father Ted?" is the first episode of the third series of the C4 sitcom Father Ted, during which Ted goes to collect a copy of a book he had given to Father Seamus Fitzpatrick, and is surprised to see his collection of Nazi and Third Reich memorabilia, including a live Nazi veteran. Hilarity ensues when Ted is spotted by a family apparently doing an impression of Hitler and is later embarrassed when he invites them round to apologise, only to find his house done up like Hitler's bunker.
