Barkas B 1000 - Der DDR-Schnelltransporter
In 1961, the Barkas B 1000 was one of the few completely newly designed vehicles in the GDR car industry that went into series production. The light transporter was used in all areas of everyday socialist life, in private life as well as by the police and others.
While it was initially technically on a par with the transporters from the West, development stagnated from the end of the 1960s onwards. The standard achieved by the "Blitz" at that time was continued to be built almost unchanged until the fall of the Wall.
Torsten Langbein documents the history of the express transporter from the beginning to the end of production in 1991 and describes all models and variants that were created during this period.
