von Baur 54 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) No idea. But after the war it was ordered destroyed as part of the Versailles Treaty. Baron van Nuys instead dismantled it and shipped disguised parts to various locations around the world. One portion ended up in Los Angeles. Goering wanted it brought back to Germany in 1936 but Hitler decided against the idea, afraid that Fat Hermann would eat it. Decades later it would get its big break in "Iron Man 2". It's agent is trying to push through a remake of "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" in which it would get a (ahem) bigger role. So far, no luck.
