Baroness Gisela von Krieger

Baroness Gisela von Krieger, shown in an undated photograph, had owned the 1936 Mercedes-Benz 540K until her death in 1989. She had a prewar romantic dalliance with a mysterious Jewish Englishman and, when World War II started, refused orders from the Third Reich to return home from France. Instead, Von Krieger and her mother fled to Switzerland. The family came to the U.S. after the war, bringing the car with them.
