Charles De Gaulle's Horch 830BL

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 Defence of Paris, General Dietrich von Choltitz. After the surrender of Paris in August 1944, the car came into the hands of the Allies.The most famous user of this car was General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French, future head of the French government and president. The Horch 830BL became the general's favourite car and he used it on many occasions. Perhaps, to some extent, the sentiment for this car also prompted de Gaulle to end the eternal rivalry between France and Germany. In 1963, he and the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany signed the "Elysée Treaty", committing both countries to comprehensive cooperation in many areas.
