We have all seen the famous German motorcycles with the side wagon in almost all War movies. I was wondering are these BMWs? or are they a different make?
Yes, the Waffen SS also had their Kradshütze or Kräders - and besides BMW´s and Zündapps they also used DKW´s, NSU´s and other brands on a smaller basis. The mortality rate of the men in these motorcycle batallions was high, however, as they practically had no protection from enemy fire.
Bayerische Motoren Werke or BMW is a German automobile, motorcycle and engine manufacturing company founded in 21st july 1917.
