Rommel's Staff Car

This second Rommel vehicle shows the now Field Marshal Erwin Rommel on a tour of inspection somewhere in Normandy just prior to the D.Day landings. This time the Field Marshal is utilizing another Mercedes-Benz 320 'Cabriolet' belonging to the elite Panzer Lehr Division as he inspects a part of Hitler's famed 'Atlantik wall' defences. On this occasion, Rommel is wearing the standard General's Greatcoat complete with bright red labels. His accompanying staff officer is wearing the traditional German officer's tunic with Aide-de-Camp shoulder cords and carrying a brown leather briefcase containing maps of the local area. A seated Wehrmacht driver completes the set while the '320' itself is in the standard 3-colour camouflage of many German vehicles of this late war period.
