Recruits of the Totenkopf Division in training in 1940

Need confirmation: is this also BMW R12?

Hello Alif,
I'm thinking R 35 on this one.

Any thoughts on the make and model of these flat twin motorcycles please?

I reckon the riders are NSKK. Any thoughts on that too please?

John.

Hello John,
The bikes are BMW R 11's. I would say the riders are NSKK also.

Hi,

here a captured motorcycle, but I cannot ID the type. Maybe one of You know it. Thanks in advance.

Zündapps with sidecars. I think KS600 (?).

From Facebook, is this a BMW R35? Note the fuel cap on the right of the deposit and weld line through the middle.

Hi Bert,

I'm not bloody likely to know motorbikes but maybe a militarised Royal Enfield KX or so.

Hi Francisco,
It's possible only if it has a replacement tank, otherwise it's hard to tell from this view. The R35 had no center weld seam and a large cap in the front center:

Maybe rather a modification of the Model K which had the motor a bit further back.

Hi Bert,

On third thought another bloody Brit, the BSA G14, looks like a likelier lad:
