Pitt, 51, bought the bike from a collector at auction, reported Female First.
The star, who became obsessed with wartime relics after starring in "Fury", has splurged on a 1942 three-wheeled vehicle that was used by a German reconnaissance unit and was used to travel across mountains and across deserts in Crete.
The bike was sold by Nazis in 1945 at a local auction and later ended up in the hands of an Athenian bike collector named Yannis, who is now selling the "collectors piece" to the Hollywood hunk.
"Even the parts are expensive if they are original. I had to replace a small piece of metal on this bike and it cost me 1500 pounds."
It is not the first time the "Fight Club" actor has purchased pricey rides; he already owns around 10 different bikes and even bought eldest son Maddox,14, a Suzuki DRZ-125 for his 11th birthday as he wants his kids to enjoy biking around their home.
