General der Flieger (later Generalfeldmarschall der Luftwaffe) Robert Ritter von Greim, Befehlshaber des Luftwaffen-Kommandos Ost, on a PKW in the Eastern front, 1942. Well known for his action during the Berlin encirclement - he flew into Berlin with the famous female test pilot (and his mistress), Hanna Reitsch to fight with Hitler. They were ordered to fly away to arrest Himmler for his "treason", and left Berlin on an Arado 96 aircraft running from the Tiergarten air strip.
