Hitler's car purchased by Australian billionaire
Hitler's car purchased by Australian billionaire
Clive Palmer, an Australian political candidate purchased a car owned by Adolf Hitler, condemned by the ADC. MARCH 1, 2022 Australian billionaire and political candidate Clive Palmer has reportedly purchased a car originally owned by Adolf Hitler, according to Australian media. Palmer is an Australian senate candidate from Queensland and a member of the populist United Australia Party which he founded in 2013. He has recently been able to acquire Adolf Hitler's Mercedes-Benz 770 after two years of negotiations. The Nazi leader's car was bought off an unnamed Russian billionaire, for the sum of 200,000 Australian dollars ($145,383), and will be added to Palmer's collection of vintage cars. He reportedly hopes to open a museum showcasing his rare collection in the near future. Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC), Australia’s leading civil rights organization, has expressed his shock and issued a statement condemning the purchase: “I can’t get my head around this perversity. This is morally wrong and crosses many red lines that I stopped counting." He continued, calling on Palmer to "look into his heart and to think about" all those murdered by the Nazis. Abramovich, adds that "the vehicle of this monster, the world’s biggest murderer of Jews, should not form part of any vintage car collection or a car museum. If it belongs anywhere, it should be housed in an educational institution that educates about the Holocaust". https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antis...article-699011 |

Australian Billionaire In Hot Water Over Hitler's Mercedes-Benz
8 march 2022 Businessman and politician Clive Palmer is denying the purchase of the controversial Benz. For decades, Mercedes-Benz has been synonymous with power and prestige. This image has attracted the world's influential elite, from celebrities such as Kim Kardashian to religious leaders such as the Pope. The German brand is favored by world leaders, who often arrive at important meetings in the back of a stately S-Class. Sometimes, however, the brand attracts less-desirable customers. But they all pale in comparison to the owner of the beautiful but tainted 770K Grosser Offener Tourenwagen. Once used by Adolf Hitler himself, the large Mercedes went up for auction years ago but failed to sell. Reports indicate that the controversial luxury car has now been sold, with an Australian billionaire allegedly purchasing the vehicle. Problem is, he's a politician - and the Australian government isn't particularly pleased. https://carbuzz.com/news/australian-...-mercedes-benz |
