German Staff Car Reich Traffic Administration, Minsk 1944
General Background
During WWII Germany developed and used numerous vehicles as staff cars. These vehicles were assigned to every branch of the military and depending on the rank of the user an appropriate size and degree of comfort and luxury was provided. Senior officers and high ranking government officials used large smooth riding vehicles while the lower ranks were given rides that went from small but enclosed and semi-comfortable to open-topped vehicles designed for battlefield use.
