US-GERMANY-HISTORY-HITLER-CAR-AUCTION

The 1939 luxury Mercedes-Benz 770K Grosser Offener Tourenwagen, ordered by, built for, and used by, Nazi German Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, is photographed in Scottsdale, Arizona January 15, 2018. - Billed as "the most historically significant automobile ever offered for public sale," the imposing four-door convertible will be offered to bidders at the Worldwide Auctioneers event in Scottsdale on January 17 at the city's annual classic car event. The car -- which carried the number plate 1A 148461 -- was used to ferry Hitler on his victory parade through Berlin following the stunning defeat of France. As the conflict turned in the Allies' favor, it fell into disuse in France and was captured after the war by US forces who, apparently unaware of its provenance, put it into a military police motor pool.
