DKW – The Complete History of a World Marque<\/h2>\n

By Siegfried Rauch with Frank R\u00f6nicke<\/h3>\n

Long considered the definitive book on DKW (Dampf-Kraft-Wagen), this classic book is now available in a complete English-language edition from Schiffer Publishing. Featuring more than 640 color and black and white images, this book covers all of the automobiles and motorcycles manufactured by DKW, from its founding in the early 20th 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\u2019s 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 Auto Union, and the later takeover by Daimler-Benz and subsequently Volkswagen. Many of the superb quality images come from factory archives and include manufacturing views, as well as line schemes and plans. Original German edition publisher Frank R\u00f6nicke, 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.<\/p>\n
