I've always had a fascination with anything military related. A friend of mine has a German K98 Mauser rifle with all of the cartouche Nazi markings on it. It's truly amazing to hold it and even more to shoot it. It has bumps and bruises and scratches on the stock and barrel and action. No telling how many trenches and battle fields it was dragged in, or how many lives it's taken. History is amazing.
I get you .I lifted a Mauser when we stayed the night in Colditz castle 2 years ago .This year we were in Berchesgarten and stood on the site of Hitlers house etc .Must admit I couldn't resist taking a long piss right in the middle of the site .Think it was where his dining area was ......
Thanks for watching everyone. This one was a little different than the normal movie locations or abandoned spots. Trying to throw in an occasional different type of content. Hope you liked it.
+adamthewoo It;s how the stories told that's important not always the content. You sir are an awesome narrater. GREAT vid Adam...P.S that camera is awesome
This car is a 1939 Mercedes Benz G4 Offener Touring Wagon. It has original upholstery and minimal restoration. A museum docent told me that with all of the bullet-proof metal the car weighs about 9,000 lbs. He said that the original tires were severely worn from the weight and the only tires that the museum could find to replace them were, ironically, from Israel (Take that, Hitler!). This car was delivered to Hitler in late 1939 and used by him in Ober Salzberg, Berlin and Poland. (www.roadsideamerica.com
I love that you are interested in History. So many young people aren't interested in the past. I went to the bunker where they say Adolf Hitler died. My mother was a child during the war and lost her father and brother in the war. Thank you for sharing.
PaganHammer7 wait, are you going to say that since it was designed by a German that it is German? Because the statue of Liberty was designed by a French man, but no one says its French.
Super cool vlog today. Great historical documentation! I loved the period music playing in the museum. I am really appreciative towards the museums and curators whom spend their time and money to showcase such interesting and important parts of our past. I did find it a little disappointing that there weren't any other visitors there like a field trip, or a grandfather with his grandson/daughter. My grandfather took me to the giant airplane "graveyard" outside of Tucson in the '80s and I remember it well...good times. Thanks Adam.
I know one of the fellows ( in high school with him) who works for General Lyon's here at the museum. Lots of famous people have their private aircraft serviced here also. General Lyon's also has a huge car collection and he is always rotating the cars and motorcycles through the museum.
The German military had 130 of those G4 Mercedes Benz Personnel Cars and the chances of THAT car being one of Hitler's personal vehicles is slim to none! He had 4 models that he himself rode in, he never drove, which were a 1937 model, 2 - 1938 models and a 1939 model. The ONLY one of the four models still existing that Hitler was actually known to have been in is at a museum in Belgium so rest assured THAT CAR is NOT one of Hitler's cars. There are like a half-dozen of these floating around the USA and NONE are the cars that Hitler was in, period.
The Canadian war museum in Ottawa also has one of Hitlers car and if you put your arm over the railing silent alarms and undercover guards surround you.
My Dad flew in same type of planes during WW2; he was in the Battle of the Bulge & saw a lot of action. My uncle was a paratrooper on D-day with the 101st. He got shot up.
Adam, if you're ever in Oregon, there's an Air and Space Museum up there called Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum and they have some really cool and interesting planes, the biggest one they have is the Hughes H-4 Hercules. You won't believe the size of this thing. It's gigantic.
The old IMPERIAL PALACE CASINO in Las Vegas used to house a Mercedes that once belonged to Hitler. If I recall it had the same setup as the one in your video. Back then the owner of the vehicle was Ralph Engelstad, not sure if he still owns it. He had at that time the largest concentration of Duesenbergs anywhere (52), and the old "IP" had a massive room that featured a super cool 1,000-car exhibit. Thanks for covering that piece of history Adam, safe travels.
Hey, look at this video this way, that car is abandoned. So it fits your TH-cam theme. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I've never seen that car before.
It's so weird to think that Hitler was in that car all those years ago and now it's just sat stationary in a museum. It's pretty spooky! A very interesting episode, you should do more historical videos like these :) -Twisty
I love your videos Adam. You're my favorite youtuber. I'm from the UK, just so you know (i'm sure you already will) how far your fan base reaches. Keep up the good work.
Thanks guys-especially liked the ghostly big band music in the background-as if the spirits of the brave men who flew these fantastic machines were talking to us!
Another well done video Woo.My brother has 2 chairs Hitler sat on.When people are told they jump up into the air and scream.To touch and make physical contact with history is electric.
Interesting video. I have a story about this car. In 1978 or 1979 I saw this car in Las Vegas, at the Imperial Palace car collection. At that time, they must have recently upholstered the rear seats. (In this video you said front seats had original upholstery). Anyway, the Imperial Palace Car Collection gift shop was selling small (2"x 2") pieces of the original leather, framed. If I remember right they were selling for $10. At the time I didn't even have $10 to spare. I have regretted it ever since.
How the hell does Hitler's car end up in an obscure little air museum in southern California? I'm surprised the car hasn't been vandalized or the museum boycotted or attacked. Truth is stranger than fiction. And as always, thanks for posting Adam.
"owned and driven by Hitler" ? Nope, do your research guys. Adolph Hitler was a well documented car lover but alas he did not drive. You will note that he is always seen riding in his cars but not driving. It has been documented that the man who saw many a race, commissioned the Volkswagen and requested the Autobahns, never drove a car himself. I would reference one book; Thinking Small: The Long, Strange Trip of the Volkswagen Beetle by Andrea Hiott as a source for this info.
ROFL! I was "ready for this" on take 1. Fascinating! I'd love to see the car in person. For essentially original it's in amazing condition! As a pilot, naturally the planes turn me on, but I also grew up in a family fascinated with antique cars. Two of them are still in the family, our '25 Ford Model T "open touring," named Henrietta, and my grandmother's '33 Ford V8 "deluxe sedan" (think Bonnie and Clyde), which she bought new, gave to me when I was 16, and which my nephew is currently in charge of. Her name is Betsy, and she looks and runs like the day she was new. Fun video, sir!!
I didn't know about this either and I lived in Tustin California, maybe 3 miles, from it for 16 years. Will have to make a point of checking it out the next time I'm in Orange County. Thanks Adam!
The sign says "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH" then the guys start groping the car, seriously how old are you dudes? I expect this from grade school kids. If everyone starting touching and playing with historical items then there would be none left to see. Even though Hitler was a sack of crap, I at least have an respect for history.
Adam you take to those places that we wiz past on the interstate of life, saying "I'll stop in there on of these days..." And you do for us. And we thank you!
Thanks Adam, I visit that area a few times a year, had no idea that airport even had an air museum let alone Hitlers parade car. It's kind of morbid and sad, but still very interesting. I'm going to have to see that for myself!
Thanks For your Videos Adam the Woo been a fan for years always enjoy every video keep capturing the world and I'll keep watching!!! Ps if you ever get a chance come to Fort Worth Texas !!
The designers of the G-4 Benz wanted the traction of 4 driven tires, but for whatever reason did not drive the front wheels, resulting in a 6 wheel configuration. The 4 rear wheels were thus driven. A six wheel Benz was a very high level status symbol in Germany, reserved for elites.
I love yesteryear technology like that, not just that awesome car but the airplanes too. It's not everyday you see rockets mounted to a piper type plane.
That "beast" at 2:25 was a Douglas DC3 in the warbird kind. One of these have been restored at Bankstown airport in Australia, my Dad actually started work on it a good 25 years ago. It looks almost EXACTLY like that one. Unfortunately, this plane that is virtually flyable is being shipped to China to go into a museum. There was no buyer in Australia. ;(
+Aden This one is in the states and is absolutely flyable along with a couple others. w7 lives at the geneseo air museum, but is flown with others in the air show every summer.
The G4s were so cool, and only a few were produced. If you look closely while watching old episodes of Hogan's Heroes, they used an original one on set. www.imcdb.org/i524126.jpg
In Las Vegas there is a hotel called the Imperial Palace, on the 4th floor there is an auto museum which has a Mercedes that belonged to Hitler too. Bulletproof glass, etc. it's very cool to see in person, from the 1920s or 30s
That "beast" is a c-47 that was one of the planes used to drop airborne soldiers behind enemy lines on June 6, 1944, otherwise known as "D-Day" I love the history of d day so much.
does DO NOT TOUCH mean anything
Yes, don't touch yourself, you nasty thang!
he touched the wheel only
Google: Pence DO NOT TOUCH ;)
PRINCE SUPR3M3 who says he follows the law lol
It’s hard not to lol
Their was a sign on hitlers car that read ... Don't touch car !! But you had to touch the car ..smh lol
+Jeff Smith pretty sure they let him open the door and touch it
Dude this was a sarcastic comment ... Get a life
+BillyBobJoeJimMikeRickJeffDan Flannigan ahh but if sarcasm bit you in the ass .. You wouldn't even know it
I saw that movie, too
a lovely sentiment, may I say so...?

Same. If only we could have seen the books in Hitler's library, which was unfortunately burned down.
I want that car it's gorgeous
I know right!?
Only $8,000,000.00
Really cool documentation. Your new video equipment is awesome
Thanks for watching everyone. This one was a little different than the normal movie locations or abandoned spots. Trying to throw in an occasional different type of content. Hope you liked it.

I loved it!

Very interesting. I thought the period music on the background, gave it an eerie feel. Love history, keep it up!
+Marcie Mahaffey I really loved the music at the museum. Super fitting
I loved the music too!
Kinda like Fallout 4 music.
+Tomorrow Comes Today bro fallout 3 new Vegas and 4 music is real music from the 30s 40s 50s and 60s
does anyone know what the music playing was ?
I love that you are interested in History. So many young people aren't interested in the past. I went to the bunker where they say Adolf Hitler died. My mother was a child during the war and lost her father and brother in the war. Thank you for sharing.
Should be given back to the owner. Germany is the owner.
1vs1? You mean how the Germans' stole the Amber room from Russia?
1vs1? Ur funny lol
PaganHammer7 no, it was Russian.
AleJandroLeal3 true, they will do anything to hide this part of history.
PaganHammer7 wait, are you going to say that since it was designed by a German that it is German? Because the statue of Liberty was designed by a French man, but no one says its French.

it says do not touch and what do they do......? guess they never heard of look but don't touch or they cant read
Love the video. I love how you like to include a "Guest Star" with you quite frequently. Spreading the goodness.
You've gone next level! Thanks for sharing this
Apparently you missed the DO NOT TOUCH sign.
STOLEN ,ITS GERMANY PROPERTY , RETURN IT TO THE OWNERS!!!!
America won it fair and square.
Lloyd Croomy eh more like 28 (plus italy 29)
vs
4 (with italy 5)
edit: I forgot hungary.
Lloyd Croomy lol you and 6 others are complete dumbfucks
manuel josé Spoils of war
captured by Americans, auctioned off and a Canadian bought it who sold it to the museum. It wasn't "stolen"
My Dad flew in same type of planes during WW2; he was in the Battle of the Bulge & saw a lot of action.
My uncle was a paratrooper on D-day with the 101st. He got shot up.
My grandfather was part of the Ghost Army, really cool subject history is ain't it?
+Caleb Botts Yes it is; I watched a show on PBS about the Ghost Army. It's amazing how much deception is used in battle tactics.
Holy cannoli the quality of this video is pretty amazing. Adam the woo I think it is safe to say you are a legit professional now.
I wonder what part of do not touch he didn't understand?
5:42 No shit sherlock
Ikr it's obvious
Adam, if you're ever in Oregon, there's an Air and Space Museum up there called Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum and they have some really cool and interesting planes, the biggest one they have is the Hughes H-4 Hercules. You won't believe the size of this thing. It's gigantic.

You've been on a roll lately Adam. Great stuff.
WooDude I feel like this Video should be on the daily Woo vlog. this video is giving me a daily Woo vibe.
-- Stone
Hey there Adam... Great Vlog... Very inserting. I'm heading out to Cali later this fall to DL and will drop by that museum. Thanks
thank you Adam the woo for taking us places we have never seen or been and it heard of.
What's the point of a bulletproof convertible
Duh!..to protect against shots from under the manhole cover, like happened to JFK according to some learned conspidiots
Protects you from very short gunmen.
You’re right, it is just like Kenedy’s Lincoln.
Hey, look at this video this way, that car is abandoned. So it fits your TH-cam theme. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. I've never seen that car before.
Haha wauw!
It's so weird to think that Hitler was in that car all those years ago and now it's just sat stationary in a museum. It's pretty spooky!
A very interesting episode, you should do more historical videos like these :)
-Twisty
Please do not touch .
I love your videos Adam. You're my favorite youtuber. I'm from the UK, just so you know (i'm sure you already will) how far your fan base reaches. Keep up the good work.
Loved it, Adam. Anything history is a good thing. I think it's a very cool addition to all your usual very cool stuff.
Nice video. Keep up the good work from the Canadian Canuck.
A "vee-hikel"??
LMFAO "this is bullet proof glass, which means if your hand or face or body was on the other side, it'd be safe" holy shit no waaay! 😂😂
You see the things I wanna see! Keep them coming!
so going to go that's so crazy ! thanks Adam that something a very few will see in person !
Thanks guys-especially liked the ghostly big band music in the background-as if the spirits of the brave men who flew these fantastic machines were talking to us!
All I can think of is Jon Lovitz saying "Hitler's Car"
+tkellaway
Yeah, he ripped it off from the Barbie museum, lol love that movie!
Haha I thought the same thing...look in the glove compartment for Ava Brauns lipstick
+ARTSIEBECCA Oh yeah! the lipstick and the sunglasses... And don't be playing with Hitler's harmonica!!! hahaha
Some say Hitler's skeleton is in the trunk, others say just a spare tire. I'm a busy man, so I haven't checked yet
Fascinating. Wish you had more info on how it was acquired and made its way to the museum though,
Dana H there's a few websites that have the actual history of this vehicle
I'm a huge WW2 history buff and this was off the hook man!!
Another well done video Woo.My brother has 2 chairs Hitler sat on.When people are told they jump up into the air and scream.To touch and make physical contact with history is electric.
The planes are amazing. Thanks for showing us this Adam.

These videos are awesome, I love watching all the history and myth and stuff. Your voice is strangely hypnotising also.
That's awesome
Ayyy!

How the hell does Hitler's car end up in an obscure little air museum in southern California? I'm surprised the car hasn't been vandalized or the museum boycotted or attacked. Truth is stranger than fiction. And as always, thanks for posting Adam.
You got to pay to get in lol
Another fantastic video! Cant wait for the next!
I never new about that museum, and whenever I fly down to Disneyland I arrive at John Wayne. Thanks for sharing.
The new camera footage has amazing quality :)
+PreeOfDarkness im digging it so far

2:31 That's the old security guard that never came back from lunch all those years ago.
ROFL! I was "ready for this" on take 1.
Fascinating! I'd love to see the car in person. For essentially original it's in amazing condition!

Fun video, sir!!
+Anonymoose can i borrow 5 dollars?
Well, thanks for explaining what bulletproof glass can do for you :)
The footsteps were probably so the security guys could hop on and off very fast.
A bullet proof convertible, what a genius.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED~!!!!!
Thanks, Adam! i am a WWII Aircraft buff! I will be visiting.
I didn't know about this either and I lived in Tustin California, maybe 3 miles, from it for 16 years. Will have to make a point of checking it out the next time I'm in Orange County. Thanks Adam!
+Jonathan Hansen isn't Tustin in Orange County? So u are already in Orange County.
5:40 thanks for explaining the concept of "bullet proof" glass to me!
Interesting museum, great shots of the Mercedes.
Looking at your early stuff makes your later stuff have a context 😀
MB built at least 4 of them. Excellent Vlog ATW.
The automobile is neither evil or bad only a beautiful automobile.
Loved the tour. I have a really big interest in WW2 and war birds especially.
Another great video, Adam. Thank you.
great video if you edit out the two hosts.
The medallion you saw on the rear suspension was just that, a decoration.
The sign says "PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH" then the guys start groping the car, seriously how old are you dudes? I expect this from grade school kids. If everyone starting touching and playing with historical items then there would be none left to see. Even though Hitler was a sack of crap, I at least have an respect for history.
When did they touch the car?
Yeah but grade kids would probably ruin it
Ikr
+Twisted Chikon WATCH THE VIDEO
ultragaze
Nope, can't find it.
Tremendous video, Adam.
The plate: Do not touch
Adamthewoo:..........
this guy doesnt get enough views please like his videos he puts alot of effort
since hitler didn`t have a drivers licence, he didn`t drive it ^^
Adam you take to those places that we wiz past on the interstate of life, saying "I'll stop in there on of these days..." And you do for us.
And we thank you!
I could say some stuff about that car, but I'm not going to. Anyways, Great vid Adam! I love these Educational videos
***** just think about it. Im pretty sure that whatever ur thinking, i was going to say
stuff like how awesome the car is. while you make nonsensicsl comments on jewtube men like me almost conquered the world?
adolf hitler yeah, I was going to say how awesome the car looks after all these years.
Thanks Adam, I visit that area a few times a year, had no idea that airport even had an air museum let alone Hitlers parade car. It's kind of morbid and sad, but still very interesting. I'm going to have to see that for myself!
Thanks For your Videos Adam the Woo been a fan for years always enjoy every video keep capturing the world and I'll keep watching!!! Ps if you ever get a chance come to Fort Worth Texas !!

A very interesting video. Thanks for finding and showing this.
I love yesteryear technology like that, not just that awesome car but the airplanes too. It's not everyday you see rockets mounted to a piper type plane.
Thanks for explaining bulletproof glass
History is very important. If we don't learn from it we are bound to repeat it!
adam this is such an awesome video, i love ww2 history so well done on covering this as well as visiting places. keep up the glod work amigo
Definitely one of the coolest things you have done... thanks for the video
the original 4 wheel version of this car captured by the US is in the Canadian war museum in Ottawa...
It makes no difference who the car belonged to - it is a very significant piece of history that should be preserved for as long as possible.
Love how it says do not touch, and you touch it
His parade car is in Ottawa at the Canadian war museum
He had multiple parade card
That "beast" at 2:25 was a Douglas DC3 in the warbird kind. One of these have been restored at Bankstown airport in Australia, my Dad actually started work on it a good 25 years ago. It looks almost EXACTLY like that one. Unfortunately, this plane that is virtually flyable is being shipped to China to go into a museum. There was no buyer in Australia. ;(
not to worry. there is still a c47 about 45 minutes South of where I live. w7 or whiskey 7.
in Aus or not? and flyable? Plus do you know of any CLASSIC dc3's anymore? The only ones that I know are flyable are c47s
+Aden This one is in the states and is absolutely flyable along with a couple others. w7 lives at the geneseo air museum, but is flown with others in the air show every summer.
AWESOME! great to hear people are willing to keep these wonders of the air IN the air!
Love the museum!!! thanks for the adventure!
The G4s were so cool, and only a few were produced. If you look closely while watching old episodes of Hogan's Heroes, they used an original one on set. www.imcdb.org/i524126.jpg
WOW, amazing finding. it does send chills up my spine if I were inches away from the exact car Hitler sat in..
In Las Vegas there is a hotel called the Imperial Palace, on the 4th floor there is an auto museum which has a Mercedes that belonged to Hitler too. Bulletproof glass, etc. it's very cool to see in person, from the 1920s or 30s
