Stealing Speed - The biggest spy scandal in motorsport history
This is the compelling story of how one of Japan's
biggest motorcycle manufacturers stole a Nazi rocket scientist's engine secrets
from behind the Iron Curtain to conquer the world. In 1961, with the Cold War at
its height, East German motorcycle manufacturer MZ was using World War II rocket
technology to win Grands Prix, only for rider Ernst Degner to defect and sell
the secrets to Suzuki, while his wife and children were drugged and smuggled
through the Berlin Wall. The following year Suzuki and Degner made history by
winning the world title. Branded a traitor by the communists, Degner suffered
horrific injuries in a fiery racing accident and died in mysterious
circumstances.
