That's an interesting question: What happens when a foreign company owns a German company, but the gains should not transfer? Answer: The company continues to invest and hopes then for the increase profits and another government. It lasts in this case at least still 8 years and a long brutal war. Nevertheless, time brings around 1937 a model boom.

This also includes the Super 6, which is however already replaced a year later by the Kapitän. It is constructed still intraditional design with wooden chassis and after all, already quite streamlined build. This model series will start in 1934 with the 1,3 and 2 liter model. The Super 6 model thus combines all model improvement measures and has also little more space.
