Still trying times
II is September, 1944 in Miihlberg-on-Elbe, Germany and a group of young men are frantically searching for as much millet soup as they can get their hands on. It's the monthly deadline for Flywheel: the exquisite motoring magazine produced by prisoners at the German prisoner of war camp, Stalag N B camp just 40 miles east of Leipzig.
Flywheel was a remarkable achievement against all odds. The magazine was published in the camp each month from September 1944 until the end of the war, using whatever resources the prisoners could beg, borrow or steal. The illustrations were drawn with quinine for ink (stolen from the medical cupboard) and the soup bound the pages together.
Flywheel covered just about everything to do with motoring from advice on alloys to debates about the future. , ', -'
