A German company what they did between 1933-1945
Quite a few of them are very open about it and germany is generally one of the most upfront countries about their history. but i guess you could say the same about a lot of other companies. older american companies? Slaves most definitely, sometimes even active supporters of the confederacy. Every old company from the former british empire? Slaves and all the fcked up shit. The japanese? Dont even get me started. Yeah sure, we did a lot of shit wrong, but we payed for it big time and are probably some of the only ones sorry for it. We are no saints but we dont claim to be. basically every other country? Same shit, just a different time or place, so stop acting like your countries did nothing wrong, they definitely did, you just dont know about it.
@@jjoheldLook into the history of Henry Ford. He openly supported Germany during the 1930's.
IBM too
And Prescott Bush..
@@jeffrobodine8579if the soldiers who fought against Germany saw what their countries have become today they would’ve supported Germany too
It’s crazy how Mercedes went from building a car that’s still running 80+ years later, to cars that repeatedly break after 8 years.
Do you not understand that it’s been rebuilt multiple times it’s not like it’s been run continuously for 80 years either like it’s a daily driver. You don’t know what you’re talking about
@@respectedprophet6247 Well he is also saying that mercedes repeatedly break after 8 years, so no. he doesnt know what he is talking about xd
@@mrt9368modern Mercedes’ have lower build quality than previous models. A simple search will tell you that. Lots of issues. But still amazing vehicles
@@respectedprophet6247 there’s a reason 90% of all new Mercedes are leased. It’s because nobody wants to own them out of warranty. Also I am aware it’s been restored and preserved, I’m also aware that’s it’s possible to keep it running unlike the new models
Quality has gone down the tubes on German cars

Hitler never got a driver's license. And in Germany, nobody drives a metre without a licence. He was driven everywhere

An over engineered modern Mercedes is lucky to last twenty Years.

One of the most luxurious and oppulent cars ever made! The 770K must've also been one of the most powerful cars in the world at the time!

im afraid so. mercedes average people drive where as rolls royce not so average
Wilhelm Maybach was at that time an engineer and developed plane engines and 16 cylinders
Wow Mercedes Kompressor was here since 1930s. Amazing.
The Mercedes 6/25 hp and 2.6 litre Mercedes 10/40 hp were the first production supercharged cars I believe. In 1923
I have one now lol. At least a modern example.
@@cbizkit36same
Yeah, maybe so, but a 1935 Mercedes 500K had a straight 8 cylinder engine mit kompressor, but it only produced a pathetic 160 HP! The German-American Duesenberg brothers made a 1935 straight 8 DOHC hemi with a supercharger that produced up to 400 HP!!
@@Loulovesspeed only two Duesenberg had 400 hp tho. But i do agree that Duesenbergs were far far ahead of anything in its time!
I really wanted them to talk about the six wheel drive version that he was seen riding in!!! 🤔
Thats a different model, it is called the Mercedes G4
there's one of those at the lyon air museum in california
Thats a G4. But the one in Sinsheim is not his.
I like those!
I know he did some crazy stuff, but you can’t deny his wagons went unfathomably hard
Mercedes should make an add. Merceds-Benz, the Fuhrer's choice.
😭😭😭 ah yes nothing wrong with that at all
@@memorimusic420 yes perfect
Maybe in 10 years from now...
That would definitely sway me to buy one

Did you even watch the clip? They went over this and talked about it 😐
Germany NEVER had good snipers !
Shows how popular he was I suppose.
The chosen one🎉
German engineering never disappoints
Unfortunately it does today. Modern German cars are not the same quality. Buy a W126 Mercedes while they still are affordable.
It's amazing all the things they built.
Good video but Mercedes had been using superchargers since the 1920s. It wasn't a new thing for the 770K.
Hell cat
Adolph would have been a great guest on Clarksons stars in cars...
LMAO can you imagine? Clarkson's banter with him about the Battle of Britain and the superiority of the RAF over the luftwaffe lol Would'be been a banger.
That supercharger sounds terrifying in a good way
They’d probably kick me out of the museum for drooling over this car
When Hitler war around Mercedes was worried about reliability
13:25 those are some beautiful gauges
That's a whopping 4 miles to the gallon, folks.
Thank you I am an American and only understand patriotism not metric.
Cutting edge technology for the time. 😅
My truck gets better than that ... barely 😂
2.9 MPG in UK gallons for any British 🇬🇧😂
About the same as a Cadillac V16.
So MB is obviously distancing itself from that part of history...including build quality.
Maybe in their mid and lower lines, but my 2017 S Class is really well designed and built.
@eastbaystreet1242 yes obviously they still build some good cars up untill 2017 but nothing compared to the old cars
Amazing technology, history and engineering 👏
Greatness recognises greatness.
Learned more from the comments then I did the video.
Mercedes wasnt merged with Benz until 1926, so he couldnt have got a Mercedes-Benz in 1923
I'm pretty sure it doesn't have eight 7.7L cylinders (a 61.6L engine)
The engine doesn't have 8 cylinders that are 7.7 liters each. They all together add up to 7.7 liters.
Yes, and I also noticed this error, and the Typo in the Title.
@@peterduxbury927 Its also weird someone talking about a compressor in English. Im german myself and i its always kompressor for us, but i guess its called supercharger in english? Not sure since i don't know if what they used is comparable to modern superchargers so it still can be right to call it compressor then.
@@DarkSession6208 In English, when talking about air, this can be compressed. The Mercedes 770 would have a Supercharger, which compresses the air before entry into the Cylinders. As you would know, Turbochargers are also compressors, and they arrived later, and were more efficient. Even though the modern Mercedes cars were named Kompressor, they had Turbochargers. I often wondered why Mercedes named their modern cars as "Kompressors", and not thinking about the fact that the cars were fitted with Turbos. Greetings from Australia.
@@DarkSession6208 yes. Typically here any engine driven forced induction (twin screw or the roots style) is refered to as supercharged. As where exhaust driven are refered to as turbo.
@@DarkSession6208 - They are one and the same. The German word for supercharger is kompressor. The American name supercharger translates to the same meaning. It super - charges the mixture which means the same as compressing it. Mercedes Benz was the first auto company to use a supercharger, designed along with input from Dr. Porsche, in 1921.
The name of Ferdinand Porsche is not "Porsh". The letter "e" at the end of a word in German is never silent. So please for gods sake call him (and the brand) PORSCHE. Thank you.
Tell them!
In my country Bulgaria, this car is pronounced Порше, Porsche and it is so cringey when Everyone from US said Porsh or even Porsha! 😂😂😂

Remarkable documentary!
770K is still a beautyful Car
Maan, I'd like to ride in this car at least once. Just to feel like what's like to be the most awesome person of the 1930's and 1920's and 2020's. Thunder Hello!
That man had Style
Style and a flair that no leftist who hate him will ever have
As for politicians cars go these years of Mercedes Benz are just so awesome. This and the 1960s Lincoln Continentals really commanded respect and had so much elegance and class. Perfect for world leaders.
the fact this beast gets 4 miles per gallon with a turbo i8 making 400 hp in 1939 is insane
Talk about range anxiety...
amazing content!!
German person here. A mistake, it is ,der Führerschein ', not ,das Führerschein '. ( In some cases a change of der, die , das changes the meaning of the same word, but not here. For example: Der Schild/the shield, but das Schild/the sign.) I visited this museum several times, a lot of Intressting items. When you hear the museum technican speaking, clearly swabian dialect, only watered down.
According to a german arms magazine, in at least some of the Große Mercedes, armoured or not, ordered by Governement, there had been one or two hidden pockets, containing a loaded Luger pistol and a spare magazin, but i couldnt proof this in the museum, you can' t go such close to the car. Now an armoured car with convertible roof. Risky, someone could throw a handgrenade or a heavy stone into the car, or shooting from a house or otherwise from above ( see Kennedy in Dallas). True, but european assassinations, 1914 Sarajewo or 1934 Marseille ( assassination of jugoslawian king Alexander and a french minister, newsreels of this incident i saw in RUclips) had been done by pistolshooters, firing from sidewalk level. I don' t know if in 1934 the car was armoued or not. When yes, the assassin must have shot through an open window. But armoured cars then had sometimes no bulletproof glass, but only moveable steelplates, which had to be moved in case of danger, and the driver could only see through slits. Who had in 1930s an armoured car? Not only presidents or kings, also dubious figures of US organized crime, for example Al Capone. Some of those gangster cars had been proffesionally armoured, some only partly or improvised for example by adding simply an Aluminium sheet. Remember: In 1935 .357 Magnum was introduced, rare and expensive, 7, 63 Mauser was seen as dangerous in penetration context, but pistols for strong cartidges ( 9mm Luger, .45 Acp etc.)had been large and not so practical for concealed carry and surprising use. The more concealable pistols/ revolvers in.22, .32, .38 ,.25 had no good penetration, so the armoured cars of 1930s had been protective for this era.
I have read somewhere, could be wrong, that in 1941 US President had no armoured car, but i was decided, for war reason he needs one. According to the article, also first armoured car of an US President was similar to shown car , a convertible and as first substitute Al Capones confiscated car was used.
Your right the US Treasury Department used Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan for Franklin D Roosevelt.
I wonder why Mercedes didn't copy the DOHC design of the Duesenberg model J engine. That engine was the most powerful engine in road going cars and was very robust.
@wouter4730 - You are exactly right! The 1935 Mercedes 500K Special Roadster had a common 306 cu. in. straight 8, overhead valve with a supercharger that made a paltry 160 HP. The mighty Duesenberg 420 cu. in. straight 8 with dual overhead cams and a supercharger produced as much as 400 HP, and was the most powerful and fastest production car in the world for many years. The Germans, especially back then, were not ones to copy others, but rather set the mark for others to follow! Apparently the brothers Duesenberg, German immigrants, were the only Germans to practice that philosophy!
The Duesenbergs were German, too.
Beautiful car❤
It will be interesting to know how they can stop a car so heavy, especially going down the Kehlstein road.
Brembo carbon ceramic engineered by Mussolini. But only until 1942 🤡
The answer is, not well at all! No disc brakes yet!
I'm sure it had fantastic brakes, too.
I saw one of these Mercedes, a convertible one, at the Lyon Museum of Automobile in France, a very impressive sight.
So Renault apparently invented both common variants of force induction.(compressor and turbo charging)
10:00 they used the infamous 2 soundtrack. it's named "Cole MacGrath" really surprised they used this here lmao.
very interesting video, thanks...
Fascinating!
The first Beetles rolled off production lines in 1938. ! DORKY Video !
1937
Something about politicians riding armored cars where the entire upper body is exposed
Those big Mercedes are brutaly beautyfull.
A.H plot armor was thick he survived 26 attempts on his life
Interesting 👌
Beautiful car. Master engineering
Didn’t Cruella De Vil have one of these? 😆
Similar, but not exactly. It had RS in the hubcaps. I think it was more of a take on Rolls Royce.
Impressive video
Always found it hilarious how his Mercedes ended up in the War Museum in Ottawa, Canada. Bullet holes and everything...
There are several of them, another one is in the Lyon Museum of Automobile in France... with bullet-holes too! Thinking about it, it's pretty good: you don´t need to cross the Atlantic to see one of these cars in person!
@@regisdumoulin
That's the one the Americans found at Goering's house in Berlin. They drove around Berlin for 3 days untill Patton said they had to stop using it. They parked it in front of the Reichstag Building, and threw grenades under it.
Nothing happened to it. So they shot it up with a 20mm anti aircraft gun. That's the holes you saw.
It pissed off Montgomery because he wanted a pristine 770 as a war prize, for when he retired.
@@bennyboogenheimer4553 A little sad. It wasn't the cars fault!
And the slave holding the laurel wreath would also whisper a warning into the Emperor's ear: "All glory is fleeting".
Mercedes should just race this in f1 at this point.
That comment got a robust belly laugh! At least with this car, George Russell could just push Alonso off the road the next time and keep going. :-)
Lmao imagine this next to a modern f1 car 🤣
Honestly I can see why he loved that roofless car, it’s elegant, stylish, and for the time, modern
His car is longer than the 2024 chevy suburban!
So for vehicle dimensions and engine capacity you use metric but fore weight you stick with the out-dated tonnage?
Awesome cars
Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Porche 🙌👏👏👏
Probably the most reliable mercedes in the world xd
1. hitler traveled only in armored cars
2. hitler considered himself lucky and felt protected by a star
so why travel in armored cars?
An open top armored car is an oxymoron.
1. He didnt, as a cabrio is not protected
2. Innovation and development were things he enjoyed, enjoyment of engeneering marvels perhaps
3. It is believed that he suffered from megalomania, hence his absolutely bonkers plans for berlin
4. It might hava just been a characteristic he held up for the public, as there was always the backup plan of killing themselves if things went south, impliing that he was not completely disconnected from reality and quite clever. He definitely saw the advantages of armoured cars, both for public and for safety reasons
@@jjoheld
The Cabrio had a roof. It's folded up under the cover just behind the passenger compartment. It's made from magnesium plates that look like a duck's back, to shed water.
Well, it's not like we must find sanity and logic in Adolf Hitler's behavior... like on another subject the "Arian race", so called master race of tall, blond people... whereas he was short with brown hair, by his own ideology he should not have led Germany!
I wonder if JFK's convertible limo had armor of any kind. Yeah, today the Zionists would have had a sniper, but if they'd assassinated Hitler back then they probably thought things would get much worse for them.

Thats it. The most villainesque, straight up evil car ever. Fits it’s owner pretty well, sadly…
@Loulovesspeed Thanks very much. I completely agree. I personally loved this video for all the history, technical details, and the beautiful cars.
I've always believed that a car is blameless, it doesn't know the era it's in, it was just somebody's (beautiful in some cases) daily transportation.
The car and whatever happened in its era are two separate things.
Big examples are German cars from the 20s-40s and American cars from the 50s-60s.
Beautiful Car❤🇩🇪🙏🏻

Truly a grand car, the best in the world at the time..

You have a point lol.
Just like democrats make SUV's evil....except when They drive them
@@tehbone8604 - You have a point alright.....a very dull one!
"only drove in armoured cars" which he spends all his time stood up outside the convertable 👍🏻
I had always thought that “K” in Mercedes model designation meant “Kompressor” or, in English, supercharger. From the early 1930’s, Mercedes had produced a luxury model in a variety of roadster, sedan and convertible styles, designated the 500K or 540 K. This had a displacement of 5 liters, later 5.4 liters, and a supercharger activated by fully depressing the accelerator, very similar to its 770K corporate sibling.
@Pamudder - You had always thought correctly in this case!
"Ayedolf....."😂😂
I like that last joke at the end
bro got tinted headlights? thats crazyyyy
This car is in the Ottawa War Museum in Ottawa Canada! I have seen it many times!
Beautiful Beast❤🔥❤🔥
75 years ago there was a car making 400 horsepowers. Anyways, at 60 liters for your 100km. It was a guzzler.
14:35 That's incorrect, "fuhren" also has different meaning that has nothing to do with leadership witch is the case for a drivers licence.
Also in case of CCW licence/Waffenschein, führen of a pistol means, you carry a loaded , ready to shoot pistol, easy to draw for selfdefence. An unloaded pistol, carried in a locked box without ammuniton is not führen, but transportieren of a pistol . Note: A Waffenschein is in Germany a rare document, but exists. Other context: A Hundeführer is in officials german a person, who handles a dog.
150kg door 😮 dayum.
DER Führerschein, nicht DAS!!!
Nobody notices the typo in the title?
That's the Japanese word for Mercedes - Mer Credes. LOL
They must've fixed it. However, the title reads "The Hitler's Car". Does this include all his family?
What a Guy
11:00 Acrually the entire engine‘s capacity is 7,7 litres in total (not per cylinder). And the power output is 200hp with the supercharger engaged (not 400hp).
A twin-supercharged 400 hp (298 kW) model was available, able to reach a top speed of around 190 km/h (118 mph). A total of five were made.
@@jjk087 I found some sources on the web claiming 400hp. But I highly doubt a second supercharger would raise the power from 200 to 400hp.
Yeah seems unlikely, but certainly more than 200hp as the single kompressor was 230hp.
A 1935 Mercedes Benz 500K had a basic 5 liter, OHV straight 8 with a supercharger and it only produced 160HP. The same year Duesenberg 6.88 liter, DOHC straight 8 with a supercharger produced up to 400 HP in the SSJ model. That engine also had 4 valves per cylinder and hemispherical cylinder heads. Big difference! The Duesenberg engine was far more advanced technically and was the most powerful auto engine in the world until 1958 when the 7.05 liter, 430 cu. in. Mercury Super Marauder engine developed 400 HP. It was the first American engine to produce 400 HP.
here in Indonesia, the name "Hitler Car" is humorously used to refer to a newer Mercedes model, the 280 S (W108) from 1972
Dude had 500 hp turbo armored Benz in 45
Still operating.
…
''...a Führer, who does not have a Führerschein...'` That`s it 😁
Counterproof: He made Germany look like that after WW2.
Der Führerschein
I drive a Benz because the Fuhrer owned one..
Kings Car
Weird how Hitler is referred to as monster, the car, monster, but Mercedes is never referred as monster!
@ 2:19 - "[…] in September 1923 he [Hitler] bought from him his first Mercedes-Benz, the 10/30 model."
Perhaps it was a Benz, but it could not have been a Mercedes-Benz, as Daimler (the manufacturer of Mercedes) and Benz didn’t amalgamate until 1926.
Otherwise, interesting video.
Beautiful car for a legend.
4:20 There's actually 13, one of them is in the Barbie museum.
