Zu zweit in den September

In the organizer's words:

With a lot of courage, little money and a second-hand, poorly repaired Hanomag type 2/10, my father and his student friend set off on a "world tour" in 1928. Neither the law student nor the budding agricultural scientist had much driving experience. Nevertheless, they set off on this venture from Halle/Saale in the little Hanomag built in Hanover-Linden, affectionately known as "Kommissbrot". Difficult road conditions, breakdowns, laborious procurement of spare parts and near-accidents were frequent companions on their journey. Thanks to a few letters of recommendation from the university, many doors were opened for the two "world travelers" in foreign countries. This meant that they never had to spend the night under the car for lack of a bed. Instead, there were plenty of other adventures, both pleasurable and unpleasant, not to mention a few amorous ones. Unfortunately, the journey came to an abrupt end after just under five weeks. The faithful Kommissbrot never saw Halle again.

Sabine Jacobs, born in 1942, is the daughter of the "Hungary driver" Hans-Joachim Suchsland. As a passionate author of family stories, it was only natural to use and publish her father's notes from his "trip around the world". They provide an amusing insight into automobile technology in the mid-1920s.
