I don't know how many of the records from the early 30's survive, but I bet somewhere deep in MB's vaults is the vin number of the car that he bought when he was a best selling author and the 30's equivalent of a talking head.
Yes, but I was speaking of when he was in office.

You are quite correct in that he owned a Mercedes after his book started selling. And I don't know if there is any record of if he sold it or just parked it somewhere after he attained higher office.

And if the records survive I would also bet that someone at Mercedes has done the research on Hitler's VIN. If it ever came up for sale.......
