Hitler hood

The Russian billionaire, whose name was not disclosed, bought a Mercedes 770 K owned by Adolf Hitler, the approximate cost of which is between four and ten million euros, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the German edition of Express. Mersedes 770 K after the death of the Fuhrer repeatedly changed the owner. In 2008, he was found by a 59-year-old vintage car dealer, Michael Frolich. He discovered that after World War II it had been sold in Austria for two thousand Reichsmarks.

Then the car was exhibited in the museum of the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas, from which the Munich billionaire brewer took it to his collection. After his death in 2008, the businessman's wife resold the Mercedes to Frolikha. "Hitler had six of these insanely rare models. They belonged to people around Hitler, such as Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop," the newspaper quoted Frolich as saying.

In the course of negotiations with the Russian billionaire, it was decided that the rare car would go to Moscow, and the buyer would acquire the entire fleet of Hitler's Mercedes. What is the final cost of the transaction, the publication does not report.

As Frolich says, before taking on the order, he experienced mixed feelings. “Because of this man, my whole family died in Berlin,” he said. However, he added that it was just a car.
