2020 - Droog Magazine periodical for investigative
journalism The strange business of selling fakes, forgeries and other concoctions attributed to Adolf Hitler (1889-1945) and other Nazi criminals. Introduction In
the direct post war period there was very little
interest in objects or documents originating from or
belonging to high ranking Nazi's. Cars excluded. One of Hitler's Mercedes Benzes
Two American collectors visited each other's collection and each discovered an object of their liking. Naturally they decided to trade, and so it happened that George Waterman, director of the Bell Cort museum in Newport, sent the late President Roosevelt's bulletproof Packard to Mr. Janus of Chicago to get Hitler's armored Mercedes Benz in return. Janus still had to pay some money, probably because the Führer's armored cars are less rare. Now that he has gotten hold of Roosevelt's car, he can start searching in the East. His next heart's desire is to get his hands on Stalin's car. Perhaps "doubles" are also in circulation. Korte Krabbels.
