Are you sure this is a 540K, I've seen pictures of them and the boot is a much different shape. |

In http://www.autogallery.org.ru/pmbtable.htm the W129 is "540K Kurz" and the W29 is "540K". But the pic of a 540K Kurz that they have looks different: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/m/mbo3883.jpg On the other hand, some of the 540K (W29 then?) from the same site are similar to the one to identify here: http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/m/mbo3974.jpg http://www.autogallery.org.ru/k/m/mbo3972.jpg (from http://www.autogallery.org.ru/mb540k.htm) -- Last edit: 2007-01-10 19:00:43 |

The german Wikipedia say: all 500K and 540K are W29 (small and long , 20 different bodies !!) (twenty 540K with armoured bodies it's W24) the prototyp for the 580K it's W129 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W29 -- Last edit: 2007-01-10 20:08:53 |

I have encountered both codes -W 29 and W 129-for the Mercedes Benz 540 K 2 door saloons (" Innenlenkers") .Edward Morehouse ( Car Collector and Car Classics , november 1984 p 23) wrote an article on the armoured 540 K's ( "Aktion Protektion" cars) and refers to Oswald Werner ,Mercedes Benz Personenwagen , 1886-1986,Motorbuchverlag Stuttgart, mentioning that " A little known series of 20 W 129 540 Innenlenkers ( pictured as the one seen here) were ordered by the Reichskanzlei to be armored ".Heribert Hofner ( Mercedes Benz Automobile , Band 2,Vom Nürburg zum 540K, München ,BLV Verlagsgesellschaft , 1982 , p.152 )mentions the 540K with the two existing codes W 29 and W 129 .Another source which is of interest here is Jan Melin's work,Mercedes Benz 8 , the supercharged 8 cylinder cars of the 1930's ,Gothenburg Nordbok International Co editions ,1985 , P 155.So if anyone has one of these books please check and let us know. |

The car is a Mercedes-Benz 540K Innenlenker , it is a Armoured version from the "Aktion P" |

This is certainly a 540 K armored sedan of the Aktion P series. Twenty of these were built and delivered during 1942-1943. Most were built on completely-refurbished used chassis whose original bodies were scrapped. Two, however, were built on the last two new, unused chassis, both dating to 1940. Another series of 17 was ordered in November 1943 (all to be rebodied using refurbished previously-used chassis). Melin state that there is no evidence this second series was built. Oswald, however, claims it was, and gives the delivery date of April 1944. Even though most of the 540 K Aktion P cars were rebodies, they were still considered as a separate series and were regarded as new cars when delivered. The only reason new chassis weren't built is because of the time it would have taken, since that model had been out of production since early-1940. Still, new regular 540 K cars (aside from the Aktion P) were being bodied and delivered as late as 1942. In fact, over 50 of the last new 540 K chassis didn't receive their bodies till 1940, 1941, or 1942. It should be noted that there were also twenty Aktion P cars built on the 770 chassis (all on new, not refurbished used, chassis) during 1942-1944. The last totally-new 770s were completed and delivered in June 1944. Ten more 770 Aktion P cars were ordered in late 1943, to be built on refurbished used chassis. Again, as with the second series of 540 K Aktion P cars, there is controversy as to whether or not they were built. Melin states he found no information they were. Oswald states four of them were built, and delivered in April 1944. |

This scene was the dramatization of the arrest of Oskar Schindler by the Gestapo at his office at his factory in Krakow, Nazi-Occupied Poland on the morning of the 29th April 1942. Like in the scene, the Gestapo had arrested Schindler on suspicion of violating the Race and Resettlement Act of the Nuremberg Laws after he had kissed an Jewish girl on the cheek at his 34th birthday party that was held at the factory on the previous day. |
