Thomas;
I remember seeing Bernd Rossmeyer's memorial plaque just beside the
Darmstadt autobahn where he was killed making a LSR attempt in an Auto-
Union (1937?). Was the actual cause of his crash ever determined?

"...Due to this, that in Germany, speed racing is not anymore popular - it
was
before and during the Third Reich, but this historie was destroyed with all
the
bad stuff from this time. After the war the people was to blind to see the
different between the speed racing and a nazi, very sad.
For a short time there was some activities, pushed by Wilhelm Herz in 1956
and
1965. But since this there was only a small group of people (around 10) in
Germany who shows interest in this sport.
...
If I talk about this in Germany, the call the asylum....
