EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment at the Motor Dispatch School in Magdeburg, Germany, on 9 July 1935. Amidst the growing tension and unease leading up to World War II, the importance of efficient and reliable communication was paramount for the German military. In this image, we see two dispatch riders, dressed in their military uniforms, exchanging a dispatch message with the utmost seriousness. The rider on the left is handing over a folded piece of paper to his colleague, who is poised to mount his motorcycle. The intensity in their expressions and the urgency of the scene underscores the critical role these riders played in the military's communication network. The Motor Dispatch School in Magdeburg was established to train these essential messengers, who were responsible for transporting time-sensitive information across vast distances. The riders were required to be skilled motorcyclists, navigators, and communicators, able to traverse the German countryside and deliver messages quickly and accurately. The use of motorcycles allowed for greater speed and flexibility compared to traditional messenger services, making them invaluable assets to the military. As the world teetered on the brink of war, the Motor Dispatch School in Magdeburg continued to churn out skilled riders, ensuring that the German military remained connected and informed. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the crucial role communication played in the events leading up to and during World War II, and the vital contributions made by these unsung heroes of the military.
