Adolf Hitler's limousine won't be sold to anyone -- including a Las Vegas casino owner fined $1.5 million by the Nevada Gaming Commission for holding a Nazi-theme party -- a Canadian War Museum official informed.
The controversy began last week when an Ottawa newspaper reported that Granatastein thought the six-meter (20-feet) limousine might raise about C$20 million at an auction -- money he said could be used to build a new war museum.
The black Mercedes-Benz, weighing 4,100 kilograms (9,000 pounds), was donated to the museum in 1970 by a Quebec City businessman who mistakenly thought it belonged to Hitler henchman Herman Goering.
Director Dr. Jack Granatstein and the board of the museum in Ottawa took the decision on Monday after about 200 Canadians objected to the museum's plan to sell it.
