'''Hans Trippel''' was an automotive designer who was the brainchild behind the [[Mercedes-Benz 300SL]]'s gullwing doors, Troll and the [[Amphicar]].
 
Trippel was born on 19th July 1908 in the Darmstadt area and died 30th July 2001, possibly in Berlin. In 1934 he embarked upon a career as a racing driver. In retrospect he is better remembered for an active obsession with the development of amphibious motor vehicles. Also noteworthy is his membership of the quasi-military SA. As an active supporter of the German regime in 1940 when France was invaded by Germany, Trippel took over control of the [[Bugatti]] plant at Molsheim. Following Germany's defeat in 1945, he was interred as a prisoner of war by the French authorities until 1949.
