The story of the invincible Silver Arrows is an enduring legend, but who remembers that in the 1930s the cars racing under this famous name were massively promoted by the Nazis?
Radio and TV journalist Eberhard Reuss paints a unique and richly illustrated portrait of the beginnings of German motor racing. Stripping away the myths that surround Hitlers race-track battles, he reveals the deep involvement of the motor industry and its top sportsmen with the Nazi regime.
