DKW off-road vehicles: books - history and models

DKW Munga 1956-1968 - Auto Union Geländewagen aus Ingolstadt

Many people still remember the days of the all-terrain DKW Munga in the late 1950s and 1960s. In the mid-1950s, young men were drafted into the newly founded German army. In many units, they saw the DKW Munga as an emergency vehicle. Whole generations of soldiers were trained with it.

Convinced by the qualities of the DKW Munga, other authorities also resorted to this practical vehicle. The DKW Munga was used in disaster control, by the fire service and in forestry administration.

In this book, Jörg Sprengelmeyer describes the history of the DKW Munga in detail and presents the DKW Munga models from 1956 to 1968 in detail. The DKW Munga 4 6 and Type 8, special bodies for fire and rescue services and special accessories are described.
In Brazil, the DKW Munga was built under license under the name Candango by the Vemag company. The book also devotes an illustrated chapter to this Auto Union off-road vehicle.

The Audi Tradition Archive alone provided over 250 images, enabling the author to use rare images. Detailed technical tables of all series types built, a model list of the DKW Munga from 1956-1986 and the complete electrical circuit diagrams of the various DKW Munga versions make this book a real reference work.
Never before has the flair of the two-stroke off-road vehicle been reproduced so captivatingly in a book using impressive factory photos.
