NAZI GRAND PRIX Richard Seaman and the Silver Arrows (on TV 12th Jan 2004)

Video Description

Grand Prix motor racing in the late 1930s was dominated by the German Auto Union and Mercedes teams. With massive financial backing from a propaganda-conscious Nazi government, the Silver Arrows were hugely successful. Amongst the drivers of these technologically advanced cars was a young Englishman, Richard Seaman. One of Britain's greatest racing drivers ever. Seaman was almost erased from history when he left British motor-sport and chose to race for the German Mercedes team at the height of the Third Reich. http://www.sportscardigest.com/richard-seaman-driver-profile/
