Since we are all a bit armchair historians I thought some might find this interesting:
According to the seller this is an old car of Himmeler and as such should fetch a high price.

One of Himmeler's old cars for sale
Re: One of Himmeler's old cars for sale
That is interesting. It is hard for me to attach the atrocities of the man to the car, though. His daughter seems a bit off center..
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Good to hear the seller won´t give this car to neo-Nazis.
Re: One of Himmeler's old cars for sale
Yes. Some artifacts seem to have a special "aura" (be it good or bad) because of their previous onwer. I think a public museum would be a good place for an object such as this. It is a place where people can learn and where such a car as part of an whole exhibit could make this gruesome history more tangible.Thomas_M wrote:Good to hear the seller won´t give this car to neo-Nazis.

I agree with Borg. A museum should take it. I applaud the seller not giving it to neo Nazis.
