German Bicycles At War!

 



Ever since I found this awesome dogtag, I have been collecting photos of Germans using bicycles in WWII.  I am on the lookout for a wartime bicycle and hope to find and restore one to fighting condition.  Below are various photographs of Germans using bikes.  According to some of the Dutch that I know, when the Germans retreated, they stole every bike in Holland that they could find!  If you have any other photographs, please send them in.  This is a blossoming area of WWII research!

These pictures were submitted by Adrian Tackman from Copenhagen.  He is the proud owner of this Elite-Diamant.  This Danish firm was pressed into war time service by the German Government and produced Bayonets and Bicycles for the Wehrmacht.  He recently obtained this rare bicycle and is restoring it.  Good luck Adrian!
