The history;

In 1945, Eisenach was occupied by American forces, but by then the Allies had already agreed that all of Thuringia would remain within the Soviet occupation zone: the transfer of the region to the Soviets took place in July 1945. It seemed likely that the plant of BMW manufacturing would be packed and shipped by rail to the Soviet Union as part of the major postwar repair package. Meanwhile, the surviving workers returning from the war resumed automobile production, on a very small scale, using pre-war designs. Albert Seidler, the man in charge of Eisenach's motorcycle production, showed the 321 to Marshal Zhukov and got an order for five new cars. Obviously, the Russians were impressed and the plant came under the control of “Sowjetische AG Maschinenbau Awtowelo”, a Soviet-run holding company focused on the production of vehicles. A further 8,996 BMW 321s are believed to have been built between 1945 and 1950. Most appear to have remained east of the Iron Curtain, many of which were brought to the Soviet Union as part of a repair package regarding WWII. . .
