Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Military art experts turned their backs on a bid to sell a painting by Adolf Hitler yesterday. The 14 by 10 inch watercolour failed to sell at the asking price of pounds 5,000, and even at the knock-down price of pounds 2,600.
Colin Such, director of auctioneers, Warwick and Warwick, said he was not surprised the painting went unsold. He said: "The price was perhaps a bit too high."
The painting, of a canal waterfront with a tower spire in the background, has the initials "AH" scrawled in the left-hand corner.
