since alot of people have downloaded my Zundapp KS750 the question lies on how a light-machinegun mounted sidecar be used in combat


A mobile light mg mounted sidecar was a boon to german Blitzkrieg tactics.Although the BMW R75 had the best sidecar, the Zundapp KS750 proved superior in the field and the Nuremberg factory produced 18,695 KS750 outfits for the German Army from 1940-1945 and the Whermacht had employed over a million Zundapp and BMW R75 motorcycles with 40,000 armed sidecars.

In a Blitzkrieg Operation mobility was crucial to the Whermacht thus the
Motorcycles with armed sidecars excelled in quickly seizing key objective points
(road juncions,Bridges,etc)
