Bernd Rosemeyer
Bernd Rosemeyer (14 October 1909 – 28 January 1938) was a German racing driver and speed record holder. He is considered one of the greatest racing drivers of all time. Though he was not a member of the Nazi party, he was made a member of the SS for propaganda purposes and held the rank of Hauptsturmführer. Career His father owned an auto & moto garage and repair shop ''Rosemeyer & Co sur Bahnhofstraße'', where young Rosemeyer worked on motorcycles and cars. Having started by racing motorbikes, Rosemeyer became a member of the Auto Union racing team with hardly any experience in racing cars. This was later considered a benefit as he was not yet used to the handling of traditional layout race cars. The Ferdinand Porsche-designed mid-engined Silver Arrows of Auto Union were fast, but hard to drive, and only he, Tazio Nuvolari and to a lesser extent Hans Stuck truly mastered the machines. Rosemeyer was also a very skilled mechanic, so, like Hermann Lang of Mercedes, he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
