It held victories in Europe, which was a powerhouse at the time for grand prix-style racing. With the rise of Adolf Hitler in 1934, the racing world became even more competitive. Hitler wanted to prove that the Germans were the best in everything, including auto racing. Hitler funded the companies of Daimler - Mercedes and Auto Union. This created the drive to make a better car for the grand prix circuit and thus, the 6CM was born.
