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 Zündapp KS750. Only the very
finest examples of these motorcycles were sought out for inclusion
in this title.
