Mercedes-Benz Parade and Staff Cars of the Third Reich by Blaine Taylor is a very fine, well-researched photo history of Mercedes-Benz cars used in the 1930s and 1940s by leaders of Nazi Germany - the best book on the subject ever printed.
Mercedes-Benz automobiles were seen as symbols of the prosperous Germany promised by the National Socialists, and Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring were early buyers of them. They were used on the campaign trail, at Nazi Party Days and other state events, at the 1936 Winter Olympics, and Hitler toured the battlefield in Poland in a Mercedes-Benz car while the fighting was still going on.
