It has been 25 years since the Wall fell. That is about as memorable as the 70 year that WWII ended.
The GDR was behind that wall. And there they made - initially building on the products of the already collapsed Third Reich, of course, all kinds of means of transport.
The Trabants are now a kind of legendary. But if you want to know more about the 'Ossies' and more factories, then DDR-Fahrzeuge from Garant publishing house is a winner.
The rigidly covered, 175 pages thick book is divided into chapters 'by type'. And those species range from sports cars to agricultural equipment with names such as "Fortschritt" and "Maulwurf" and military stuff.
Many of the brands you will be largely unknown. But the Trabant cars and the MZ engines; we know that one. But do we know them all? After reading this book, you know that it wasn't just boring in the former GDR
