Just released but i don't think it is specifically supposed to be Hitler's, just a convenient colour choice.

There is also an all black version available but i don't think Hitler rode in an all black one ever, did he? The black one looks real good though...

I’ve seen a real Mercedes G4 Staff Car that was authenticated as having been used by Adolph Hitler during the Polish and French campaigns in WWII… It’s on display at the Lyon Air Museum, located at the John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana, California. (Britt/P-51 will be very familiar with this museum). When I visited the museum in 2018, the car was kind of tucked away at one end of the building with the passenger door left in the open position, showing where Hitler would have ridden. The display takes on a rather solemn meaning when one considers the historical significance and emotional weight of who used that car and sat right in that seat.

Thanks for the info, makes it an easy choice to get the black one.

$94.95, not bad after seeing other stuff for way more and way smaller.
