TIGER HAS THE ROAD:

Check out the motorcycle, looks like a
BMW R/75 or a Zundapp KS750 w/sidecar the
rider is a paratrooper on a mesage run.
The German army used motorcycles for
reconnaissance and liaisons or other duties every unit had the bikes.

RUSSIAN COPIES:

The Russians were impressed with both the
BMW and the Zundapp, and even copied them down to the last detail.
The Zundapp was known as the Cossack M-67 and the BMW was known as the Ural M-72

NOW ABOUT THOSE GERMAN NAMES AND LETTERS:

DKW: Das Klenie Wunder
NAU: Neckar und SUlm
BMW: Bayische Motoren Werke
Zundapp: Zunendung Ignition Apparat Machine

NSU Stands for Neckar und Sulm..NSU, but my favorite is Zundapp: Stands for
Zunendung Ignition Apparat Machine, whats the
old saying "To error is human"
