In May 1945, over 60,000 luxury Mercedes and BMW vehicles—symbols of Nazi power and German engineering—fell into Soviet hands as Berlin crumbled. These weren't ordinary cars. They were the armored limousines of Hitler's inner circle, the racing machines that dominated Europe's tracks, and the status symbols of the Reich's elite. But when the guns fell silent, these prized automobiles vanished behind the Iron Curtain. Some were crushed in Soviet scrapyards, their steel melted to rebuild a shattered nation. Others became the personal rides of Stalin and his generals. Thousands were secretly shipped to Siberia, only to be abandoned in frozen ravines. A few survived in hidden garages, waiting decades to be discovered. This is the untold story of history's greatest automotive heist—where engineering marvels became spoils of war, and luxury turned to scrap metal in the cold machinery of the Cold War.
