Great Photos, Jun 12 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: German Military Motorcycles in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht 1934-1945 (Hardcover)
If you want to know what type of motorcycles the German military used and what the motorcycles and riders looked like, this is the book for you. Almost all the photos include a rider, many of which are action shots. The book also includes pictures of requisitioned machines, captured motorcycles, and some Allied motorcycles. Hinrichsen also discusses the overcoats made for the rider and passenger and the heating systems on the BMWs and Zündapps. I really enjoyed this book and the pictures are great. But if you are looking for technical detail, this is not the book, as it's mostly pictures and captions.

A Disappointment, Nov 7 2011

This review is from: German Military Motorcycles in the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht 1934-1945 (Hardcover)
This book is filled with black & white snapshots (with limited cutlines) of German motorcycles in WW2. They are abundant; and that's the positive. The negative is there was no technical information, no identification as to where the snapshots were taken, and absolutely nothing on North Afrika. There were no color plates and virtually no descriptions of colors of the motorcycles so it was of little value to modelers. I expected more from a hardback book of this expense.
