Most intriguing, indeed! I never realized that German officers during World War II used Packards as staff cars.
I guess all manner of vehicles were commandeered for war use when necessary. One that has a particularly interesting history is this 38 Super Eight by Franay which was delivered by Packard/Paris before the war, then taken over for use by the Nazis in Paris, and then later in the war taken over by Allied forces and used yet again as a staff car. The car is now in the Marano collection.
