A lavishly illustrated history of the most recognized sports-car maker in the world—Porsche—a story that began more than a century ago.Porsche: The Road from Zuffenhausen is the first book in more than twenty-five years to chronicle in such meticulous detail the early years of the renowned automobile company. Perfect for the more than 500,000 Porsche owners and the millions of Porsche enthusiasts, Porsche is a lively narrative of the cars and the people who created them. In the opening chapters, the reader will find the true heart of Porsche and its dedication to design and engineering, and then move on to the pre–World War II development of the first Porsche prototypes, as well as the development of the Volkswagen by Professor Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1930s. The story of the company’s early postwar years in Austria is a tale of commitment to an idea, an idea that resulted in the first 356 model and in a very short time established Porsche as one of Germany’s leading car makers. Here is the entire history not only of the 356 but also of the development of competition versions, and of the evolution of the 550 RSK and the legendary 904 Carrera GTS. The story of the 911 occupies half the book, as this model has survived for nearly four decades—the longest production of any single postwar automobile design. The narrative is brilliantly complemented by wonderful historical documents and photographs from the factory archives, provided through the cooperation of Porsche AG and the Porsche family, as well as original color photography by the author.

Cover has some scuffing. Pages are clean.

P.O.W Camp 78, Zuffenhausen, Germany, may be the first book written about conditions in a prisoner of war camp managed and controlled by the United States Army following the end of World War II (WW II). Books have been written about the German P.O.W. camps and the conditions and treatment by the Germans of their prisoners during the war. The American P.O.W. camps were managed and operated in dramatic contrast. Who would believe that some of the prisoners in the American camps preferred to remain in the camps as prisoners rather than accepting their freedom? But, that in fact did occur in 1945-1946. The book describes the author's military experiences from his induction as a draftee into the United States Army in May, 1945; his travels and assignment to the 633rd Medical Clearing Company located in Ludwigsburg, Germany, plus his duties as the American in charge of the hospital in P.O.W. Camp 78. The book details the living conditions of the prisoners in Camp 78, the author's interface with the Camp's German hospital staff and particularly the doctors. The special mission, organization and personnel of the 633rd Medical Clearing Company are also addressed. The allied Armies had hundreds of thousands of war prisoners at the end of the hostilities in May, 1945. The Americans shared the problems of housing, logistics, and the denazification of the prisoners with its major WW II allies, the Russians, British, and French. The Americans established numerous prisoner of war camps throughout its assigned military Zone of Occupation in Germany. Many of these camps were located in the Stuttgart area of Germany. In the spring of 1945, the 633rd Medical Clearing Company, with its Headquarters in Ludwigsburg, was assigned the responsibility for the oversight of the medical aspects within several P.O.W. camps in the Stuttgart area. This was a dramatic change in its war time mission. As a result, the Company experienced a radical change in the type of its personnel requirements. The
