The Moskvitch 400-420 was a car from Soviet manufacturer Moskvitch introduced in 1947. After the war the Soviet Union deemed the plans and tooling for the 1939 Opel Kadett a part of the war reparations package. People in Rüsselsheim remember dismantling the Kadett production tooling after World War II, to go into a large number of freight cars on their way to Moscow, where their destination was the "Stalin Factory". However, according to recent Russian sources, the Kadett plans and tooling were in fact not captured from the factory, because they did not survive there (and what survived, was appropriate for producing a two-door model).
