A Tatra T57K with FFI crosses( French Forces of the Interior (Forces Françaises de l’Intérieur) painted on its wings, participated in the liberation of Paris in August 1944. The “German” Tatra, a booty vehicle ceased during the Allied Forces march from Normandy to Paris, even had a very prominent role at the August 26/29 victory parade, even leading it! But who was behind the wheel? It was a Spaniard! Amado Granell, an anti-fascist Spaniard, became part of the French 2nd Armored Division under General Philippe Leclerc and landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day with 2000 other countrymen. In fact Granell was one of the very first to enter Paris and he was granted to head the parade. The Spanish participation on the liberation of Paris was  not very much published, but recently more acknowleged.

Just Cool Cars: 1947 Tatra is their Czech mate; The Long couple interviewed by US Today at Pebble Beach

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — There’s no mistaking a Tatra.
With its sloping back and a big fin, the Czech-made Tatra T-87 stands out on any road. John Long and Helena Mitchell know. They have taken one of their Tatras — yes, they’ve owned several — all over North America.
After all, it’s not many couples that drive their car to the Arctic Circle and back, much less making the trip in an obscure European auto. Long says he even took the air-cooled car across the Mojave Desert in summer. “That,” Long says, “was really stupid.”
Long, of Malibu, Calif., says he considers the car to be brilliantly engineered. It is also one of the more aerodynamic cars for its time. It is said that Ferdinand Porsche was influenced by the design when it came to designing the cars that would bear his name.
We caught up to Long and Mitchell over the summer at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, where crowds gathered around their T-87. Long and Mitchell made the Tatra a little less obscure.
