    I read about this too... but actually the car never belonged to Hitler.
    It's just a middle class MB 320, nothing Hitler would have used.
    But the Wehrmacht bought 8 of these for various generals, one of those was destroyed in the assassination attempt on Heydrich.
    Though it is not clear to which general this one belonged

    But he "believes" it was Hitlers car, so it must be true.

    Cars and Nazis. I've never seen a thread more tailor-made for Macs.

    Lousy taste in countries he chose to invade though.
