After WW II, the Ringhoffer-Tatra works were nationalised, its general director Hans von R%inghoffer and Koprivnice director Hans Ledwinka captured. Von Ringhoffer ended up in a Russian NKVD camp near Mühlberg an der Elbe (East Germany), Hans Ledwinka spend six years in custody before being released in 1951. Von Ringhoffer died in the camp from dysenteria in dreadfull circumstances. It was only after the reunion of the two Germanies, that spontenuously simple crosses were planted by the victims family. The site of the former camp evaluated in a monument. Some former employees of Ringhoffer-Tatra led by Pierre Prousek (the family is now Porsche dealer in Prague), took care of the fact that Hans von Ringhoffer got a cross as well.
