Description:The post-war development of the automotive industry in East Germany (the German Democratic Republic) is quite a different story from that of the West. For many years after the Second World War the industry in the two halves of Germany grew in different directions. Automotive development in West Germany was aided and abetted by cash and investment from America and the Allies, while, for a time, industry of all types in East Germany suffered a certain amount of asset stripping and disinvestment. There was also a stark contrast between the state-driven production methods in the German Democratic Republic and the market-focused development in the West, which today, two decades after the collapse of the GDR, is hard to imagine. Here, for the first time in English, is a complete pictorial record of all those East German cars, trucks and buses. The authors have tracked down an example of every marque manufactured, and they are all featured here, with portraits taken in the authentic surroundings of the former East Germany, and each vehicle described by a marque expert to ensure accuracy of information. At last, automotive enthusiasts of all persuasions can indulge in this truly fascinating voyage of discovery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
