This story is more fishy than a dragnet in a happy day. I'm not seeing any Russian soldier worth his salt leaving any more or less drinkable bottle behind.

"Yuri Andreyevitch, are you not going to drink this?"
"Naaa, Piotr Ilyitch, not chilly enough for me, let's leave this for some Brit to find"

KriegsmarineFreak is an unknown quantity at this point
Interesting auction. Wonder how much this champagne bottle will go for? I can imagine it would go for a lot if it was owned by Hitler.
