As late as 1943, Mercedes Benz produced, on demand, for the Third Reich government, a handful of high end Mercedes, often the 770K Grossers, often fully armored, for the leaders.

Less than two weeks ago I saw one such, at the Sinsheim Museum und Technik in Stuttgart, and it was Himmler's personal auto, discovered and preserved.

It was a black armored 770K 4 door sedan, with one spotlight on each door, the drivers side one was a red one!

The open 6wd G Wagen that Hitler rode in after the Anschluss in Austria in 1938 was on display, as was the open but armed 4 door 770K he rode in, when in public was there too.

I am still looking for the photos of those vehicles, I took but so far I only found these.






And my fave, that needs no further description..
