Apparently not from Germany, but am not sure. It's most likely not Hanomag-based according to my source. The engine came from some other make. Quite common.

This car is discussed by a reader who is telling from memory when he was a kid in the mid 1940s. His dad owned this car back then as the family lived in Basel/CH.

It's not VW-powered either.

To be honest I don't know either if it was built on that given date. He says his father owned it from 194_ till 194_. A little later than your guess.
