With mobilization of the German armed forces in 1939 the lack of
motorized transport was identified as a critical issue, to partly remedy
this the military commandeered much of both Germany's and its satellite
dependencies' passenger car stock, thus the military motor pool was
supplemented by thousands of confiscated civilian passenger cars, which
were partially adapted to military use. Commercial & private limousines
as well as hard tops and cabriolets cars were used.
