FILE - In this Oct. 30 1938 file photo, Nazi propaganda minister Dr. Joseph Goebbels speaks to members of the National Socialist party on the 10th anniversary of their foundation in the overcrowded sport palast in Berlin. The lakeside property in the German capital once owned by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels is up for sale at auction. Bids are now being taken for the 70,000-square foot (6,440-square meter) plot on Schwanenwerder island, an exclusive area in western Berlin where Goebbels and his family lived from 1936 to 1943, spokeswoman Irina Daehne for the real estate agency selling the property for the city said Wednesday. The Goebbels family returned in 1945 before moving into Hitler's bunker complex in the capital's downtown area. The Goebbels villa, which he purchased from a Deutsche Bank board member, was destroyed after the war and a 7,650-square foot (710-square meter) brick bungalow built in the 1950s now sits on the site.
