Traction avant, ruine et Gestapo : l'histoire sombre de la Citroën Traction Avant
The Gestapo Car: How a French Genius Revolutionized the Automotive World The Citroën Traction Avant was the world's first mass-produced car to combine front-wheel drive, a monocoque body, and independent suspension on all four wheels. A true revolution conceived by a brilliant inventor, but one with a gambling addiction, who ultimately lost his entire fortune. Discover how this car became a favorite among Parisian high society, how it was later used as one of the Gestapo's most feared vehicles during the German Occupation, before becoming, after the war, a symbol of French reconstruction. You will also see why the technical principles it pioneered continue to influence all modern automobiles.
