Horch is a German automotive company founded at the beginning of the 20th century in Zwickau (Saxony). From the very beginning, Horch cars were characterized by high quality, modern technical solutions and superior craftsmanship. In 1933, the luxury sedan 'Horch 830' made its debut on the market and became an instant hit. This prompted the manufacturer to release more variants of the car. In 1935, the Horch 830 B appeared with a more powerful engine and the Horch 830 BL in a version with an elongated body.

Horch, like other companies, supplied vehicles for the military in the 1930s. Civil production was intended to a large extent for the needs of high-ranking officials. A 1936 Horch 830 BL car belonged to the Commander of Defense of Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz. After the surrender of Paris in August 1944, the car came into the hands of the Allies.

In the early 1950s, the car was sold. Currently, you can see it in the military museum in Dresden, where restored to an ideal condition it is on display with a French pennant decorated with the Lorraine Cross.
