Re: Hitlers staff cars at Sinsheim.
Excellent pictures, looks like a fantastic place. I just find it absurd, though, that a museum with Hitler's car would censor the swastika. They even omit it from the Africa Korps symbol. If a muesum is supposedly displaying history, one either comes away with an impression the Nazi's never existed, or the muesum and current Germany were affilated with them, lol!

I have been to Sinsheim , a great museum, it has some fantastic German aircraft and tanks too, well worth a visit!!

Re: Hitlers staff cars at Sinsheim.
Wouldn't mind pulling up at my local Battlecruiser (Boozer) in the summer time, roof down, parked on double yellow lines, near side on the kerb, keys left in the ignition and kick the door shut before strolling nonchalantly into the hostelry for a pint of the black stuff! How cool would that be.....

Re: Hitlers staff cars at Sinsheim.
The 'front-on' view of Hitler in the grey staff car, is not the same car in the museum.
In the photo, there is a chrome handle permanently fixed to the passenger side
windshield frame, and the wipers are mounted in different positions.
The black car on display is not the one Hitler is seen in either. The museum car
has a completely different windshield frame compared to the photos.
They are I suppose, representative of the type of vehicles that were
used for TR parades, etc, but they are not the actual vehicles
seen in the period photos...............
