Veículos Militares

Nazi Germany put some 25,000,000 individuals into uniform. Some flew in the Luftwaffe, some sailed in the Kriegsmarine, many others slogged it out in the Wehrmacht. Several thousand rode to war on motorcycles, some purpose built for combat, others conscripted from the streets of Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and wherever they were roaming at the time, frequently their owners/riders finding themselves in uniform along with their bikes.

Bikes of the Blitzkrieg

...tanto mota como motociclista eram alistados, as motas eram preparadas para a guerra. Imaginem que vocês tinham que ir para a guerra, com mota e tudo! :o

Relato de um soldado alemão:

During the four years of my private driving, the machine always functioned to my complete satisfaction, as it has now, since I have been drafted. In this year I have driven it 20,000 km, at first in the Polish campaign, then during service in the operational area of the western front and on duty in France. During the campaign in France I drove about 7,000 km. If possible, I want to buy back the machine after the end of the war we have been compelled to wage."

Será que ele tornou a comprar a sua fiel companheira...? Será que sobreviveu sequer?
