Adolf Hitler's personal stock of champagne was won by an anonymous Swedish bidder in a British auction Friday.

The bottle of Moet et Chandon champagne dated 1937 was auctioned and purchased for $3,359 at Charterhouse auctioneers in Sherbourne, southwest England.

The champagne was believed to be one of Hitler's personal stock and was taken by a British soldier when Hitler's Nazi collapsed and ends the World War II.

The champagne was a gift to solicitor Nigel Wilson for his legal work.

According to Charterhouse valuer Chris Copson, in an AP report said "he believes a soldier retrieved it from the ruins of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin after the Nazis were defeated in May 1945."

"They made their way in to the Chancellery, the Russians had been there first, there was a lot of looting and the soldier and members of his unit took themselves a little souvenir of the event."

He also added, "There was a rumor that some of the bottles of champagne had been poisoned by injecting through the cork which might be why the soldier never actually drank it."

"Champagne doesn't particularly age well anyway, but in light of that information I would say it's extremely unlikely that anyone would want to drink it."
