Quite a few of them are very open about it and germany is generally one of the most upfront countries about their history. but i guess you could say the same about a lot of other companies. older american companies? Slaves most definitely, sometimes even active supporters of the confederacy. Every old company from the former british empire? Slaves and all the fcked up shit. The japanese? Dont even get me started. Yeah sure, we did a lot of shit wrong, but we payed for it big time and are probably some of the only ones sorry for it. We are no saints but we dont claim to be. basically every other country? Same shit, just a different time or place, so stop acting like your countries did nothing wrong, they definitely did, you just dont know about it.

@@Loulovesspeed It's only because we are conditioned to associate the term supercharger to a turbo or Roots type blower.

Besides, what's the difference between a spindle with a turbine wheel at both ends, two lobes intertwining and two paddles joined by leather? There is no difference as they all achieve the same result very effectively and simply. Yes the bellows are still with us and have changed civilisation with the new tools they help create.

@@DarkSession6208 In English, when talking about air, this can be compressed. The Mercedes 770 would have a Supercharger, which compresses the air before entry into the Cylinders. As you would know, Turbochargers are also compressors, and they arrived later, and were more efficient. Even though the modern Mercedes cars were named Kompressor, they had Turbochargers. I often wondered why Mercedes named their modern cars as "Kompressors", and not thinking about the fact that the cars were fitted with Turbos. Greetings from Australia.

[@brittakriep2938]

German person here. A mistake, it is ,der Führerschein ', not ,das Führerschein '. ( In some cases a change of der, die , das changes the meaning of the same word, but not here. For example: Der Schild/the shield, but das Schild/the sign.) I visited this museum several times, a lot of Intressting items. When you hear the museum technican speaking, clearly swabian dialect, only watered down. According to a german arms magazine, in at least some of the Große Mercedes, armoured or not, ordered by Governement, there had been one or two hidden pockets, containing a loaded Luger pistol and a spare magazin, but i couldnt proof this in the museum, you can' t go such close to the car. Now an armoured car with convertible roof. Risky, someone could throw a handgrenade or a heavy stone into the car, or shooting from a house or otherwise from above ( see Kennedy in Dallas). True, but european assassinations, 1914 Sarajewo or 1934 Marseille ( assassination of jugoslawian king Alexander and a french minister, newsreels of this incident i saw in KZbin) had been done by pistolshooters, firing from sidewalk level. I don' t know if in 1934 the car was armoued or not. When yes, the assassin must have shot through an open window. But armoured cars then had sometimes no bulletproof glass, but only moveable steelplates, which had to be moved in case of danger, and the driver could only see through slits. Who had in 1930s an armoured car? Not only presidents or kings, also dubious figures of US organized crime, for example Al Capone. Some of those gangster cars had been proffesionally armoured, some only partly or improvised for example by adding simply an Aluminium sheet. Remember: In 1935 .357 Magnum was introduced, rare and expensive, 7, 63 Mauser was seen as dangerous in penetration context, but pistols for strong cartidges ( 9mm Luger, .45 Acp etc.)had been large and not so practical for concealed carry and surprising use. The more concealable pistols/ revolvers in.22, .32, .38 ,.25 had no good penetration, so the armoured cars of 1930s had been protective for this era. I have read somewhere, could be wrong, that in 1941 US President had no armoured car, but i was decided, for war reason he needs one. According to the article, also first armoured car of an US President was similar to shown car , a convertible and as first substitute Al Capones confiscated car was used.

[@Loulovesspeed]

@wouter4730 - You are exactly right! The 1935 Mercedes 500K Special Roadster had a common 306 cu. in. straight 8, overhead valve with a supercharger that made a paltry 160 HP. The mighty Duesenberg 420 cu. in. straight 8 with dual overhead cams and a supercharger produced as much as 400 HP, and was the most powerful and fastest production car in the world for many years. The Germans, especially back then, were not ones to copy others, but rather set the mark for others to follow! Apparently the brothers Duesenberg, German immigrants, were the only Germans to practice that philosophy!

[@1940limited]

The Duesenbergs were German, too.

[@dingrey]

​@@Loulovesspeed more like 320 hp from what jay leno says?

@@dingrey OK, Here's the straight poop on the Duesenberg 420 cu. in. engine. The base engine which was carbureted, produced 265 hp. The supercharged version was 320 hp. The SSJ model of which just 2 were made, had special "Ram's Horn" intake manifolds and produced 400 hp. Duesenberg designed the engine, though it was built by Lycoming, a former aircraft engine manfuacturer.

11:00 Acrually the entire engine‘s capacity is 7,7 litres in total (not per cylinder). And the power output is 200hp with the supercharger engaged (not 400hp).

[@NewtonInDaHouseYo]

@@jjk087 I found some sources on the web claiming 400hp. But I highly doubt a second supercharger would raise the power from 200 to 400hp.

[@jjk087]

Yeah seems unlikely, but certainly more than 200hp as the single kompressor was 230hp.

[@Loulovesspeed]

A 1935 Mercedes Benz 500K had a basic 5 liter, OHV straight 8 with a supercharger and it only produced 160HP. The same year Duesenberg 6.88 liter, DOHC straight 8 with a supercharger produced up to 400 HP in the SSJ model. That engine also had 4 valves per cylinder and hemispherical cylinder heads. Big difference! The Duesenberg engine was far more advanced technically and was the most powerful auto engine in the world until 1958 when the 7.05 liter, 430 cu. in. Mercury Super Marauder engine developed 400 HP. It was the first American engine to produce 400 HP.

I love this documentary. I hate all those "Hitler bad" videos. Yes we know he was bad but there are many other aspects of his life that make great stories. Like this one about his cars. I want to see more videos like this.

[@SLICE_Experts]

We agree! If you want more, you can watch this documentary about his wife, Eva Braun, and how she lived with this man and his atrocities 👉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_Uh4Z6pt6CaJI

The Führer had no "Führerschein" (= leader certificate - by word) 😂The communist East German (after ww2) used the term "Fahrerlaubnis" (= driving permission) instead.

I like how they try and make the car evil as well. Like it also had a personal solution to the JQ. Hilarious.

Always found it hilarious how his Mercedes ended up in the War Museum in Ottawa, Canada. Bullet holes and everything...

[@regisdumoulin]

There are several of them, another one is in the Lyon Museum of Automobile in France... with bullet-holes too! Thinking about it, it's pretty good: you don´t need to cross the Atlantic to see one of these cars in person!

[@bennyboogenheimer4553]

@@regisdumoulin That's the one the Americans found at Goering's house in Berlin. They drove around Berlin for 3 days untill Patton said they had to stop using it. They parked it in front of the Reichstag Building, and threw grenades under it. Nothing happened to it. So they shot it up with a 20mm anti aircraft gun. That's the holes you saw. It pissed off Montgomery because he wanted a pristine 770 as a war prize, for when he retired.

In 1933, they created a model called The Twenty Grand. That was the astronomical price of the car then, about $471,000 U.S. dollars today! They designed their own engines that were built by Lycoming Aircraft Co. and produced 320 HP supercharged. The same year Mercedes Benz 500K Special Roadster supercharged was just 165 HP and cost just under $11,000 U.S. dollars. Their cars also won the 24 hrs. of Le Mans 3 times! Great machines!

14:35 That's incorrect, "fuhren" also has different meaning that has nothing to do with leadership witch is the case for a drivers licence.

[@brittakriep2938]

Also in case of CCW licence/Waffenschein, führen of a pistol means, you carry a loaded , ready to shoot pistol, easy to draw for selfdefence. An unloaded pistol, carried in a locked box without ammuniton is not führen, but transportieren of a pistol . Note: A Waffenschein is in Germany a rare document, but exists. Other context: A Hundeführer is in officials german a person, who handles a dog.

The museum shows also an armoured version of an open tourer with 540k engine.
