Motor Schau was a big, oversized 10 x 13-3/4 inch glossy, heavily illustrated trade and consumer magazine which concentrated on every aspect of the "motor business" not only in Germany, but around the world. Its emphasis was Germany and German equipment and every big issue was packed with features, news and advertising related to the motor trades. Unlike the other German motoring magazines, every issue of Motor Schau had a striking full-color industry related cover and usually plenty of color inside. 

Published by Hitler's friend Jakob Werlin and Motorschau Verlag in Berlin, this big 10-1/8 x 14 inch, 44 page photo-packed issue contains articles on the state of the war on the East Front, War Chronicle, Nazi submarines at sea (including a photo of the French cruiser submarine Surcouf), the building of a U-Boot bunker, August von Parsival, building floats for Nazi sea planes (color photos), Büssing-Nag military trucks with all-wheel drive, ship generators, military motorcycles with sidecars, training skilled workers at Opel AG in Rüsselsheim and the laest technical news (KdF Wagen, Lilienthal-Gesellschaft, important promotions, etc.).

There is NO BETTER NAZI ERA PHOTO MAGAZINE on subjects related to cars, trucks, motorcycles, busses, boats, halftracks, tanks and aircraft than Motor Schau. Lots of superb color and black & white images. This 70+ year old magazine is complete and in very good condition. No odor.
