Deutsche Militärfahrräder bis 1945

The use of bicycles in the military had two key advantages: They were much cheaper than motorized vehicles or horses and they made far less noise. Initially only used as a military courier vehicle, whole cycling troops were eventually formed, mobilizing parts of the infantry. Barbara Maiwald documents how the bicycle conquered the military in Germany. She describes his tasks and missions in everyday war life, describes the bicycle models and their manufacturers, and lists which weapons belonged to the various bicycles.
