The second last paragraph of the article from Göttingen.de discusses the propellor thing:
"After completion of driving tests in Göttingen, the Schlör car was unveiled at the 1939 International Motor Show in Berlin to an astonished audience. But the Second World War destroyed any plans for further development of passenger cars. In 1943, the Schlör car was equipped with a propeller from the Russian war booty with 130 hp. On a test drive in Göttingen, the unusual design caused a stir."

The article also reports that there is no trail of the vehicle after the war. "Whether it was seized by the Allies and taken to England, landed in a scrap yard, or perhaps still is in a shed in Göttingen, to this day remains a mystery."

That's a quote mark, not an "inches". He's got it right.
