Nice
Nice DKW!!!
Here's my 1943 dated NSU 251-OSL (4 stroke!) "Wehrmachts ausfuhrung" still with the original military half fish tail exhaust! Found in Bulgaria! I already have the metal boxes, engine skid plate. It is number matching (frame engine) and has the mid-late war grauguss (pot metal) engine case! Wrong handle bars of course! Needs work!Attached FilesLast edited by NickG; 01-19-2008, 03:11 PM.

My 1939 dates Zundapp KS600
And here my 1939 dates Zundapp KS600 (with Danish military "Engstrom" side car, note MG mounting hole, which I now sold). I think solo would be more fun! This was by far the fastest Wehrmacht bike in "solo" configuration, eventhough it was designed as a heavy krad with seitenwagen.Attached Files

Swiss Hetzers
Hello Willysjeep,
Yes, there are Swiss only Hetzers, in the sense that they and the German Hetzer were different from the moment they started manufacture and left the factory.
To begin with the Swiss contract stipulated "new" vehicles only to be accepted and delivered, and apart from the first few vehicles delivered which were essentially 100% WWII German production vehicles but reconditioned, the rest have differences that were unique to the Swiss contract.
1, different layout for the hatches on top of the fighting compartment due to the Swiss wanting a different position for the commander.
2, different gun, the WWII vehicles used a 7,5cm Pak 39 without muzzlebrake whereas the Swiss vehicles were delivered with a 7,5cm StuK 40 with muzzlebrake. very little difference, but are different.
3, absolutely new vehicles were of course impossible to get, but the "new" was interpreted by the Czechs and accepted by the Swiss as meaning completely unused hulls, not any form of battlefield recovery and the same for all the mechanical parts, so of course most parts were from German WWII production, just never ever used until installed in these vehicles.
4, many other items were Swiss only, the radios for example.
cheers lennard
