Moto DKW: libri - storia e modelli

DKW: the Complete History of a World Marque

Long considered the definitive book on DKW (Dampf-Kraft-Wagen), this classic book is now available in a complete English language edition. Featuring over 640 color and black and white images, it covers all of the automobiles and motorcycles manufactured by the legendary DKW from its founding in the early twentieth century to its closing in the 1960s.
Described in detail are the technical developments of the famed two-stroke engine, thanks to which DKW earned its excellent worldwide reputation. Prior to World War II, DKW was the world's largest producer of motorcycles with great success in both the racing and civilian markets.
Clearly presented is the complex company history, including its 1932 merger with Audi, Horch and Wanderer to form the Auto Union, and later takeover by Daimler-Benz then Volkswagen. Many of the superb quality images come from factory archives and include manufacturing views, as well as line schemes and plans.

The original German edition publisher Frank Rönicke, who knew the author Siegfried Rauch (1906-1997) personally and was able to inherit his archive, has revised and supplemented the original text for this new edition and added a series of color photos to this classic of DKW literature.

DKW - Die Geschichte der legendären Marke

By converting a two-stroke toy engine into an auxiliary bicycle engine, Jörg Rasmussen initiated the rise of DKW in the early 1920s.
By 1928, DKW had already established itself as the world's most successful motorcycle brand. At the same time, the company entered the car manufacturing business and in 1930 developed the world's first series-produced car with front-wheel drive - again with a two-stroke engine, of course. However, after Auto Union was taken over by VW in the 1960s, the two-stroke engine had served its purpose.
