A rare luxury Mercedes-Benz car used by German Nazi leader Hitler will be auctioned in Arizona, USA this week.
Only four units of this 1939 Mercedes-Benz sedan were produced.
The Mercedes-Benz that once carried Hitler through Berlin's victory parade
After Germany's lightning victory over France, this Mercedes-Benz once participated in the victory parade and carried Hitler through Berlin. After Germany surrendered, the U.S. Army confiscated the sedan. This Mercedes-Benz later changed hands several times among the public.
US media reported that the price of this Mercedes-Benz may be as high as tens of millions of dollars.
Global auctioneers stated that one-tenth of the sale price will be donated to educate the public about why the Jews suffered the Nazi Holocaust and how to effectively avoid such atrocities in the future.
