Interesting machine John, how did you come across it? It seems a very obscure vehicle.

According to Wikipedia ....
After the 1938 invasion of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, Tatras continued in production, largely because Germans liked the cars. Many German officers met their deaths driving heavy, rear-engined Tatras faster around corners than they could handle. The Tatra, in fact, became known as the Czech Secret Weapon for the scores of officers who died behind the wheel, at one point official orders had to be issued forbidding German officers from driving Tatras.
sounds a bit unlikely to me.
