3 very different cars
aircooled 4 cylinder boxer, 4 cylinder water cooled, and a 2-cylinder 2 stroke.
engine in the back, engine in the front...
fwd, rwd, etc
The DKW F89 was a competitor, and the later ones (3-cylinder 2 stroke) were quite fast.

We know that so much of this goes on in wars, i.e. the inexcusable burning down of peoples homes/properties, but I wonder what was so special here, that just short of 20 soldiers stood around to watch it burn, as if they had never seen such a thing before, and somebody there to photograph the event? |
Because some dumbass accidentally burned down thier crash pad for the night and nobody thought to grab the keys for all the vehicles, the booze and the food, now they all have to walk and won't eat.
But at least someone grabbed thier camera on the way out

I sure hope that's a parking lot, and not traffic...

Wow. What a difference in perspective. The split looks sooooo much smaller than the others. Like a toy.

There's some weird Photoshop action going on there. VW didn't make the car bigger.

Not sure it's just perspective. Objects in the foreground cannot appear smaller than in the background due to perspective. It's always the other way around.
It is odd that the race number on the split takes up much more space on the door than the race numbers on the other VW's. Another oddity is that the split's rear wheels look much smaller than the front ones.
Everything seems to point to the split being a small replica, not a real VW, but if so it's an extremely good replica.

Nobody is messing with me. It was an honest mistake and it has been deleted.
Hopefully this makes up for it.

More than makes up for it.  |
