1942 Mercedes Benz 770K (Hitler's Car)
May i present to you with the man, the savior, and the role model who rode in this memorable car: Adolf Hitler. Yes, Hitler's Mercedes lives on in the memories of all Mercedes engineers and designer, taking inspiration from the indestructable and beautiful piece of work that the world's most beloved Fuehrer rode in. Hitler was a connoisseur in his choice of automobile models, which is a choice that the Bavarians have loathed for decades.

Well, I don't find that comment tasteless or insulting, I'd like to find out it that comment is true to Mecedes Engineers.
After all if it wan't for Hitler, there probably wouldn't be an Autobahn in Germany

These are pictures of a rather odd model of Hitler's car made by Minichamps; they also make a rather tastless model of JF Kennedy's last ride as well.
During the war, MB built the engines for the Tiger tanks. The factory was completely destroyed in the latter stages of the war.

Tasteless... But then again the world is full of jealousy and hatred... and Bilal and Renntech just examplify this. It would be the same as if I showed a picture of Jewish babies being burned by the bombs of the Palastinian terrorist scum and the caption would be " look at this beuatifull hand made bomb, made by the best craftsmen of the headscarfed brigades..." tasteless...

Get over it people.
The post was speaking of a vehicle, and not condoning the actions of Hitler.
Hitler did what he did, as did other people who have, and continue to do: Stalin, Castro, Jiang Zemin, KIM Young-nam, to name a few.

Well have it your own way, idiots can't accept opinions, it is the same case everywhere you go.
Hitler may have done bad things, but from Germany's point of view he was a great man, he built the Autobahn, restructured the economy and built Germany all over again, to whatever it may become in the 40's, but no denying it, he would have made Germany a hugely industrial nation if it wasn't for his evil plans and acts.
I don't understand why this car is tasteless, its a car model. How offensive can it be?
jealousy and hatred my a$$, go fock off.

No, thats a horrible analogy. The correct analogy would be showing a hand grenade in the hands of a terrorist, which is far different then the picture you portray.
Personally, I think the car is gorgeous. The fact that its so engrained in history makes it even more interesting. Sickening time period, but if you ignore the Holocaust for a second, the **** regimen is fascinating, in how it worked, its technology, and its intrigue.

Except for the part where the post calls him a "savior (sic) and role model", right?
Reading. It's Fundamental.

At least someone agrees with me, androza
If you have read European history 1850 and up to the present day, you will never find a more fascinating and diverse story, forget books, this is the best book out there, and if you know and understand it, you have to admit, it is extremely fascinating.

Technically he was all those things, except possibly role model. He was a man, he saved Germany. It can even be argued he is in fact a role model, since he did take a crippled country and convert it into an amazing state that managed to conquer most of Europe and Africa.
And Stalin was in fact a horrible monster, possibly worse then Hitler. And there are other world leaders that were just as bad. What about the Pnom Penh person, thats not how you spell it but its close. The leader of the Khmer Rouge, one of the bloodiest, most despotic regimens to ever exist. It systematically starved and executed a huge part of its population.

It's all about point of view:
The US Put the Japanese in interment (sp?) camps during WW2, and what kind of prejudices do you think we are putting on middle-easterners right now? How do you think the Middle-East views George Bush?
Germans thought hitler (aside from the war) was one of the most successful leaders of all time.
This is the same thing as selling a Mercedes with George Bush in it, we are bombing iraq DAILY probably killing innocent civilians just for OIL!
I am in no way trying to right Hitler's wrongs. He was a very evil person but the thing is, the world is full of them. Just because the US is one of the greatest nations in the world currently, doesn't mean we have the greatest leader

Sure and the holocaust didn't happen right? Can't believe some of you are actually making Hitler look like Robinhood and turning other leaders into devils.

Oh, and then his military actions gets his country bombed for 18 months into the damned bronze age . Some saviour; Dresden loses (I believe) 250,000 residents due to Allied bombing. Hey, if that's your saviour, I'll stick to being d@mned.
News flash: Hitler didn't rebuild Germany; the Marshall Plan and the actions of the Allies did.

The whole genocide thing? Yeah, that's not a good list to be in the Top 5 on, period.
Are these your opinions, or are you reading this somewhere and regurgitating it up onto the rest of us?
