The history of the car remains a mystery. During the war,[1] the Allied bombers destroyed the Voll & Ruhrbeck plant, and along with it the Horch 853 documentation.[1] The car was captured by the French government and fell into the hands of French army Marshal Jean de Lattre de Tassigny. In the post-war period, the car was moved to Switzerland, after which it changed owners multiple times and was restored.[1]
