Horch 780: How a car seized in WWII came back to the Netherlands

Watch with English subtitles! In this video, we dive into the incredible history of a rare Horch 780, a luxurious car that once belonged to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. During WWII, this car was seized by German forces as they advanced through Europe. But the story doesn’t end there. When the war finally came to a close, the German forces were ordered to retreat, but Dutch officials weren’t about to let this unique treasure slip away. With a remarkable act of patriotic pride, they demanded, ‘Let the Germans walk home, but bring the car back!’ Join us as we uncover the Horch's journey across borders, the tug-of-war between nations, and how it was ultimately reclaimed by its rightful owners.
