Hanns Trippel built some very interesting constructions in his lifetime. I don't think he was ever so interested
in the war itself, just in making interesting machines. After the war, Hanns Trippel went on to make his most famous amfibious automobile, the Amphicar. Available also at the exhibition was an interesting book on Hanns Trippel, in French only: "Trippelwagen (Molsheim, 1940-1944)", by Grégory Oswald. You may think, what interest is this to the Bugattiste? Well, there are some very interesting photographs of the factory, and communications of the several parties with Ettore Bugatti. Information of the war-time about Ettore Bugatti are very scarce in most publications! Its published by S.H.A.M.E., Société d'Histoire et d'Archéologie de Molsheim et Environs
