Is this a Dixi?
Note the Swastika on the wing.

Looks about the right proportions so I suspect it could be. Someone much more familiar with 7's could maybe confirm from the front suspension arrangement?

It probably is a Dixi as it looks like an A7 and it's lhd. I think I can see an exhaust pipe at the right of the rear which would go with Dixi as their engines etc. were mirror-imaged from A7. The flag is a bit of a giveaway too.
Rosengart did not do lhd until later when they looked rather different. Same for American Austin I think and Datsun wouldn't need lhd.

I am not certain, that it is indeed a German Dixi. What time of the video is it to be seen? More snaps?
(The vid is on yt.)

The BMW Dixi roadster had a boat tail, mostly. But the IHLE specials had a droop back. The Cabriolets had doors.
I for one do not find a fitting body style.

Looking at your photo's it does seem that the car might not be a Dixi. They have vents in the side bonnet.

This is the video at 6mins 54secs:- https://youtu.be/xySKClQ8HtE

You can find on that website on the page "Typenübersicht" a thumbnail of several styles labelled as

Do that and the first car is quite similar to the one we were identifying.

ETA In the film we see the Dixi engine both complete and cutaway and you can see it's a mirror image A7 as I wrote before.
Don't understand them using that as the driving school car was a Wanderer

I really should have looked in a book!
Reiche & Stück in "Meilensteine aus Eisenach" include this picture/caption - bonnet sides are different as are a few other things, but overall it's quite similar

Good find!
