With its front wheel drive monocoque frame design, the Citroen Traction 11CV was a
groundbreaking design when it was first introduced. Its low center of gravity and torsion bar
suspension system gave it excellent performance and its graceful body styling distinguished it
from other cars of that period. They were widely used by the French military, and therefore large
numbers of them were commandeered by German forces after France was defeated. They
were used on all fronts as staff cars for both high-level officers and Luftwaffe pilots. The car"s
production even continued after the end of the war, lasting until 1957.

weathering effects for enhanced realism.
Unique pad-printed markings depict vehicle serving with Fliegerkorps VIII on the Eastern Front,
