Motorisierung und 'Volksgemeinschaft': Das Nationalsozialistische Kraftfahrkorps (NSKK), 1931-1945

摘要

Right from the beginning of the National Socialist movement motorized units were prominent. Fifteen platoons of the SA transport division (founded in 1922) played a crucial part in the Hitler putsch in 1923 and thus demonstrated their quasi-military impact. In the early 1930s, three suborganizations of the NSDAP used motor vehicles: the paramilitary SA (Sturmabteilung), the SS (Schutzstaffel), and the National Socialist Motorist Corps (Nationalsozialistisches Kraftfahrkorps, NSKK). The assignments included street fighting, but also the transport of party officials during the election campaign, especially in 1932.
