I am quite acknowledged about the Silver Arrows...

Hitler invested into transport, and one way is to invest into motor racing. In order to resuce Germany from the depression, Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union built both a car for the 1934 season. And they dominated. Bugatti and Alfa Romeo were no match. This age of racing was a true classic, one of the best before the actual F1 World Championship, which started in 1950. Unfortunately, when WW2 began the racing quit for both teams. After the war, Auto Union came in the hands of the Soviets who did nothing with racing, they made some crappy cars from these beauties. Only few are remaining. Mercedes returned in 1954, dominating again, but after the horrible 1955 Le Mans accident they quit again. In 2010, they are finally back, but yet with only one win...

Thing is, Hitler liked racing, even despite he can't drive a car himself. Probably the only pro of Hitler to me.
