MERCEDES-BENZ PARADE AND STAFF CARS OF THE
THIRD REICH
by Blaine Taylor
An illustrated history of all the
Mercedes models, personalities and important
events in the automotive history of the
Third Reich. The cars were speedy and
sturdy, allowing Hitler and his top
associates to campaign throughout Germany in
a way that caught his political opponents
unprepared. State power brought almost
infinite resources into the hands of the
Nazi Party, and liberal use of luxury
automobiles were part of the spoils of
victory. The text is supplemented by an
extraordinary array of illustrations, from
retro-futuristic paintings of the 1930s to
unpublished photographs from the Hermann
Goering, Eva Braun and Heinrich Hoffmann
archives.
