In May 1945, as Germany surrendered, thousands of luxury Cadillac staff cars vanished into history. Some were seized by Stalin's Red Army and disappeared behind the Iron Curtain. Others were systematically crushed in massive scrapyards across Europe. But a rare few survived in the most unexpected places on Earth.
This documentary investigates one of WWII's strangest unsolved mysteries: What happened to America's most prestigious military vehicles after the war? From Supreme Commander Eisenhower's personal transport to the shocking discovery of a Cadillac in Hermann Göring's possession, these vehicles tell the hidden story of Allied victory and post-war chaos.
Discover how the U.S. military's decision to destroy rather than preserve these historic automobiles led to an 80% destruction rate. Learn about the Soviet seizure of thousands of American vehicles. Meet the American sergeant who hid a Cadillac in an Austrian barn for 30 years to save it from the scrapyard. And explore the rare survivors now housed in museums and private collections worldwide.
From the battlefields of Europe to the crushing machinery of 1946 scrapyards, from Nazi leadership's obsession with American engineering to the Cold War's vehicle black market, this is automotive history at its most dramatic.
