On 4th May 1945, US forces captured Berchtesgaden, the Bavarian town where many Nazi leaders maintained homes. One of the houses captured belonged to Heinrich Himmler, leader of the SS. In the garage, GIs made an astounding discovery - a stunning armoured limousine used by Himmler when he lived at the house.

I've seen these cars in the Sinsheim museum in real life. The video doesn't get anywhere close to show how huge these vehicles are. Especially the grey car with three axles in the end is a behemoth. As a grown man I could hardly look over the giant grille in its front. If I recall correctly, the wheels of these things are between 0.80 meters to 1 meter in diameter, and the head lights are the size of a human's head. They're a sight to behold.

In the early 1950s Lawrence Durrell, the author, was a diplomat at the British embassy in Belgrade, and in a funny private letter (included in the collection "Spirit of Place") he recounted how he had bought a parade car alleged to have belonged to none other than Göring. "It has two horns, one bass and one tenor. It is an ideal Poet's Car, for it guzzles serious amounts of petrol and is unsuitable for anything but making triumphant entries into a city". Unfortunately he probably had to leave it behind when he left Yugoslavia for Cyprus a few years later.

Damit hast Du vollkommen Recht. Man kann Dinge nicht auf Foto oder Video festhalten. Die Dinge sehen in der Realität komplett anders aus. Ich erinnere mich, als ich in den 90ern als Kind, zum ersten Mal ein in einem Automagazin ein Foto von einer Corvette C2 gesehen habe. Ich dachte mir damals: "Was ist das für ein häßliches Ding, sieht Furchtbar aus". Als ich dann einige jahre später, eine C2 in der Realität gesehen habe, musste ich meine Meinung komplett revidieren. Die C2 sieht in der Realität komplett anders aus, sehr Ehrfürchtig und Brachial.

It's more like a truck with a car body on top. It's weird when men insecure about their size compensate by driving enormous cars, which make them look even tinier. That being said, it is a paradox often noted in Germany that Hitler himself didn't even have a "Führerschein" (driver's license; "Führer" can mean "leader", but also guide or operator of all sorts of machinery).

Some of Dr. Felton's documentaries are interesting. If we were living in a free world in its very meaning, history would have been written for the most part in a very different way, for instance the history of the first and the second world war and the Bolshevik revolution in Russia when thinking about the near history. Of course history is always written by the ruling power and history of wars by winners. My awakening concerning who is ruling the world happened in 2015, when Europe was flooding with immigrants or refugees or whatever you want to call them. Talking about Germany; when Germany lost the 2. world war, it has been under alien control. The Germans have no say in the destiny of their own country. Even though Great Britain and the US were winners of the last world war, the same goes with them nowadays - as for the rest of the western world. As you Americans say, follow the money ... and you realize the truth, who is ruling and whom you are not allowed to criticize. Maybe this is gibberish to you, but more and more people are awakening, why are we living in the ugly and unjust world, which is becoming uglier day by day before its collapse.

Yes!!!. Mark gives the absolute best when it comes to Nazi era history. I've definitely appreciated the time he has dedicated to researching to give us the most accurate information for those who know nothing of the details that have never been taught in history globally in school.. I've been to Berchtesgaden and to the Berghoff site.. I have a branch from the Bormann tree at the base of the berghoff driveway that Borman7n had transplanted for shade during the summer months when Hitler would walk to the base of the driveway to greet supporters that gathered daily.. Nothing different from what we see with celebrities in our day and age.. 😮My friend Danny who was born and raised in Bavaria and has 2 from his family tree that served. One was Heer, and the other was SS.. The photos his grandmother had were amazing. Photos of Biberach with the Platz full of SS standing in perfect order at attention. And yes Biberach has a historical education building that teaches truth.. Im here in Oklahoma now.. Anyone who has not visited the 145th infantry division museum is missing out on one of the most important museums. All on display in Oklahoma city is incredibly unique.. I have a big branch from the Bormann tree and was very fortunate I was able to get it back home into the states... Its about to finally get framed finally.... I have absolutely every bit of provenance to accompany it. I took many photos and photos of us at the Zum Turken.. The time we went, the Linden Tree was incredibly obvious.

The museum also house a large and interesting exhibiton about Danish resistance during the WWII German occupation. I very much recommend the museum. Transport can be tricky, the nearest bus stop is in _Biltris_ a couple of of kms away. Mark Felton recently made a video about this Heydrich's car, the one from the assassination incident.

They were at the chateau for four days before an unlucky soldier trod on the wrong step. Devious and demoralising it was hard going even for a drill sergeant like my friend Tom, brave lads all of them,

Thanks for the video. I am a classic car enthusiast and was offered Himler's 540k Cabriolet. It was in an aircraft hanger near Kiev, having been 'captured' by the Russians. Its engine and gearbox had been removed and it was painted in white emulsion to stop it from rusting but it had sat at the back of the disused hanger since the 1950's. The chassis numbers had been deliberately ground off although some of the body pieces still had the Sindelfingen part numbers which cross-referenced with a 'batch' of Mercedes cars which had been delivered to the Nazi party in the late 1930's. I was unable to establish the personal provenance so I didn't buy it - the seller wanted €200,000 - and without the engine and gearbox it would have been very difficult to restore. I've lost contact with my Ukrainian friend who was acting as a middle-man but if this interests anyone, I have some pictures and can pass along his contact details. BTW, Himler's daughter lived in Munich until 2018 and showed no remorse for her father's ill-doings - quite the opposite - she operated a 'fund' to defend her father's legacy and help any Nazi's being held responsible for their crimes...

_"Himler's daughter still lives in Munich",_ I guess that would be Nanette-Dorothea, daugther with his secretary? Gudrun, Himmler's daughter through marriage, lived in Munich but died in may 2918. As a side note Gudrun, during Himmler's visit to Copenhagen during the war, was, on official occasion(s), escorted by 8 years older Danish Nazi, war criminal and SS officer _Søren Kam._ I heard that Søren and Gudrun might even have had an affair. I guess Gudrun would have been around 14 years of age at the time. That Himmler lets Søren Kam escort - and maybe having an affair with - his young daughter show something about Kam's stading with the top SS leader. Søren Kam moved to and ended his life in Germany, never standing trial for his war crimes).

When given a private tour of the Technical Museum in Prague, while closed for renovation, (2007?) I was shown a collection of automobiles in storage, one of which was said to Himmler’s limousine. Very thick glass and extremely heavy doors were pointed out. The guide pointed out the all original interior ( where I was invited to sit) likely contained Himmler’s DNA. Many German held valuables were squirreled away in Prague in 1945, for safe keeping, and also some very interesting technologies. I also was shown a late development Daimler Benz DB 603L V-12 aero engine with two stage inter cooled supercharger, slated for use in Ta 152 fighter aircraft.

When my dad was stationed in Stuttgart in the late 1950s he had one of these big, beautiful old pre-war Mercedes Benz sedans with a straight 8 engine in it. He told me bought it from some old German for $150.00. He said gas was so expensive in Germany that the Germans couldn't afford to drive these big old cars anymore. That was not a concern for my dad since he could buy gas for cheap at the PX on the US base. I asked my dad what happened to it and he told me he sold it it to another GI for $300 with the agreement that the new owner would drive him to Bremerhaven where he was to board a troopship home to the states. If he had brought it home it would probably worth a fortune today but he said back then they were just "old cars" and could be had for not much money.

They were able to load them aboard a couple of LCTs that were going back to England empty. In the North sea they saw RN ships, and were worried that there LCTs would be searched So they dumped them all. The RN ships sailed on past with a wave He later tried to calculate the value of the cars they had dumped in through North Sea I believe, loads of stuff was brought back as souvenirs.

When I was a young boy our family owned a 1965 220SEb. When it needed service we took it to a mechanic by the name of Rolf Hass (not sure of spelling) I was told that he was a factory mechanic for MB until they withdrew from racing in 1955. He later emigrated to the U.S. We were at his home shop and he was working on a car that was said to have been used by Hitler's ambassador to France. It was a monster! I can't imagine what it must have weighed. It was really more like a heavy truck with a limousine body. It was in nice condition. I sat in the driver's seat. It had a huge steering wheel and long gear shift. Mr. Hass explained that it had an eight cylinder supercharged engine and a five speed manual transmission. As a ten year old it left a huge impression. I remember looking at the tool kit in the rear. It was extensive. It was only missing two pieces. This would have been about 1969 or 1970. The car belonged to a collector. I never saw it again.

Every nation has an underbelly of people who would be terrible if they were given power: the trick is to be sure those people never come to power. Germany, a wonderful nation, fell victim to such people and we all paid the price.

One of our neighbours here in Sweden at my parents' country house (used to be very common even in low income households in this country, and both my parents were senior civil servants) called Gebhard had been a boy during the War and had moved to Sweden when he married a Swedish woman as an adult. Back in the '90s he told us that his family had taken one of the Nazi leaders' cars around the end of the War, and I think this was in Bavaria and that it was one of Himmler's, though it could also have been somebody else's.

It is amazing that Hitler had to find a place to stay when he went to Bavaria. Hitler would have never imagined that his future spiritual reincarnation in the US (a poor quality reincarnation to be sure, but a reincarnation nevertheless) would have a luxury chain of hotels to choose from as a place to stay.

This film shows two sides of an armed conflict directed and financed from one point in the world. Both of these armies symbolized one occult symbol. To this day, it is widely known and very popular, namely the five-pointed star Bahomet. The Red Army had it in the above color, the second part of the conflict in white (Allies). Today, with hindsight, we see that most of the conflicts had the same scenario. Divide and rule as the ancients said. That is, divide societies into fragments and then from the second row he will be able to rule them unnoticed. And this happens all the time. Finally, I will add that the Zionist Talmud has two armies. The first is Freemasonry and the second is communism. Today, the latter has taken over almost the entire world. Regards.
