Re: Hitler's Mercedes up for auction
That is most interesting, although i wont be bidding. I was led to believe he used five different Mercs during the war. A guy in England owns one of them, correct me if im wrong on this.

Yes Kevin Wheatcroft in the UK has one and also probably the largest collection of Hitler artifacts including, believe it or not, Hitlers bed and the cell door from Landsberg prison where Hitler wrote Mein Kampf while imprisoned.
Tanks,Trucks and such...

Bruce Crompton. And yes, it was. Kevin Wheatcroft owns probably the largest private collection of military vehicles in the world.

http://www.wheatcroftcollection.com/ I don't think it's open for public tough.
Bruce Crompton has a very nice collection himself too.
