That ribbed sump is typically Germanic and typically Horex. I think that it's a T5 or T6 from the late 1930s.

I would say that it has almost certainly seen Wehrmacht service. It is a type which is not uncommon in wartime photographs. Those are rather serious cross-country tyres as well which point towards military use.  A little more 'knobbly' than would be needed for riding to work at the steel mill.

It is similar like a russian "IJ 350"

or "IJ 9"

or "IJ 49" fuel tank is similar

but it's not a russian or czech motorcycle, it is a TRULY AND VERY VERY RARE MODEL "Victoria" motorcycle!!!!!!!!
