Silent witness to Netaji s Great Escape: German Wanderer sedan
As the nation is busy celebrating 125th birth anniversary of India s freedom legend Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose with much fanfare, an iconic German Wanderer sedan of 1937 stands silent witness at Bose s Kolkata Elgin Road ancestral home from where he had made a great escape to Jharkhand s Gomoh railway station in 1941 to finally reach Germany.
With the initiative of Netaji Research Bureau, the car was restored to its 1941 look by automobile giant Audi.
In 2017, former President late Pranab Mukherjee had unveiled the iconic German Wanderer sedan which Netaji had used to engineer the famous Great Escape from his Elgin Road residence.
