Vehicle history: The Opel Kapitan, produced by the German company Opel, was one of the key models in the pre-war brand's lineup. Production of this car began in late 1938 and continued until 1940, during which a total of 25,370 units were produced. The Kapitan was available in various body styles, including as a 2-door sedan, which became a popular choice among Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe officers. These cars were used on both the western and eastern fronts until the end of the war.

The Opel Kapitan was known for its modern design, including a self-supporting body and front suspension with double wishbones, which represented a significant advancement compared to earlier models. Equipped with a 2.5-liter six-cylinder engine, the Kapitan offered solid performance and reliability, making it an ideal vehicle for German officers.
