After the Nazi takeover of power, increased funding became available for mechanization, and in 1934, a development program for standardized chassis was launched.

The medium off-road passenger car was built by the Opelwerk Brandenburg (chassis only), Wanderer in Siegmar-Schönau (today a part of Chemnitz), and Horch in Zwickau (both members of Auto Union).
•
Several manufacturers were therefore charged with production, each supposedly following the same standardized plans: BMW (Werk Eisenach), Hanomag, Stoewer, Opel (Werk Brandenburg), Ford Germany and Auto Union (Horch and Wanderer).
Between 1940 and 1943 the chassis of standard medium passenger car, a all-wheel drive vehicle for military purpose, which had been originally developed by Horch (Auto Union) in Zwickau, was also assembled under licence at the Opel Brandenburg plant.
