Das Autobuch für den Pimpfen (The Automotive Book for Hitler Youth Boys) was written by engineer Rolf Schur in 1940 and published by Verlag ‘Das Auto und Kraftrad’ Hugo Radüge in Berlin. This 6-1/2 x 9-1/4 inch, 132 page example is from the updated 9th edition of 1943 and contains over 150 illustrations and a colorful fold-out chart.
It is the single best book on the subject produced in Nazi Germany and as the author says in his new foreword, the book is as valuable to adults as it is to its intended audience!
This rare educational book for German boys starts with a full-page photo of Adolf Hitler in an open car, and introductions by NSKK-Führer Adolf Hühnlein and Reichsjugendführer Artur Axmann. It contains illustrated articles on the KdF Car, pioneers of the German automotive industry that all HJ boys should know (Carl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler, August Horch, Wilhelm Maybach), features of Nazi license plates, the origins of car names (Adler, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Bugatti, Buick, Ford, Fiat, Chrysler, Chevrolet, etc.), Car Club badges and pins, the NSKK, the Motor-HJ, the DDAC, Adolf Hitler’s Reichsautobahn, car tires and the history of rubber, dashboard instruments, car engines, car chassis and suspension, motorcycles, discipline in traffic, oil and gasoline, how to read a map, etc., etc.
This book also contains great pictures of HJ boys on motorcycles, the KdF-Wagen or Volkswagen, car racing and racing cars, Korpsführer Hühnlein with famous racers Bernd Rosemeyer and Rudolf Caracciola, Hitler in his huge open 7-seat Great Mercedes-Benz, engines and car chassis, oil tankers in Hamburg harbor, a close-up photo of the engine of a powerful Auto-Union race car, Rudolf Caracciola and Manfred von Brauchitsch rowing on the Mediterranean, Oberfeldwebel Georg Meier on his BMW motorcycle, famous auto racer Hermann Lang at home, and much, much more.
This example of Das Autobuch für den Pimpfen came from a Nazi school library and their library stamp has been blacked out on several pages, but NONE of the text or photos were obliterated in the process. It is complete and in good used condition.
