Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
This has probably been posted earlier. This is a very high quality version of the 50th Birthday of Hitler.
Johnny R.
The automobile engineer and designer Ferdinand Porsche (in suit) presents Hitler with a convertible Volkswagen for Hitler's 50th birthday, Berlin, Germany, April 20, 1939. "Hitler loved to have his driver tear along at 80 mph," LIFE magazine once noted, "until 1939 when he turned superstitious about accidents and made 35 mph the limit."Johnny R.

Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
Not another one
By now most people realize he had more than one Mercedes.
Interesting article on where many of Hitler's possessions end up over the years.

Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
I don't see any references to this book here, so I would just point to "Hitler's Personal Security" (Peter Hoffmann, 1979. ISBN 0 333 23513 4 ):
In chapter 7 (page 61), Hoffmann say Hitler had a red Benz in 1923 (he says he drove it, but in the next sentence mentions a chauffeur/bodyguard..?)*. He also says that this Benz was Hitler's fourth car (page 62).
*Hoffman also refers to the following books:
"Hitler: The Missing Years" (Ernst Hanfstaengl, 1957. ISBN 1-55970-278-8 ), page 131
"Der Orden unter dem Totenkopf: Die Geschichte der SS" (Heinz Höhne, 1967. ISBN 0-14-139012-3 ), page 64

Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
I wonder just haw many cars were actually owned by Hitler himself. I assume the majority were owned by the Nazi government.

Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
I have 3 letters from Mercedes to Rudolf hess in 1936 concerning the fuhrers new limousine, on the last letter concerning the delivery details that they understand the need for secrecy and wish the fuhrer on the whole head count of Mercedes " happy motoring"
Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
Why did Karl-Siegmund Litzmann a driver for AH? Did not have AH strict rules regarding personal drivers?

Re: Did Hitler ever drive ?
I've never seen an image of A. Hitler behind the wheel of a car. If there is an image out there please post it.
