German Motorcycles of WWII Publisher: Ampersand Author: David Doyle ISBN: 9781944367022 Format: Paperback Pages: In the mid 1930s the German Army developed specialized armed motorcycle units attached to infantry regiments, but the bikes proved unsuited to extreme conditions and after 1943 were used mainly for communications. This volume uses wartime archive photographs as well as modern colour images of preserved bikes to explore the various BMW and Zündapp models used during the period.

About this product

Product Information

The Germans developed and used the motorcycle as an instrument of offensive warfare, perhaps more than any other nation in WWII. The major tasks of these units were mopping-up for the following troops and employment as an advance guard, surprise raid-like attacks against an opponent's flanks and rear, as well as pursuit of the opponent. A wide variety of machines were deployed for these tasks, both impressed and adapted civilian models, as well as variety of purpose-built military motorcycles. This distinctive reference combines rare vintage photographs with photos of superbly restored German WWII motorcycles. The first of a multi-part series on the subject, this volume features large, full-color detail photos of the BMW R4; R12; R35; R71; R74 and Zundapp KS750. Only the very finest examples of these motorcycles were sought out for inclusion in this title.
