Chronographe De Sport Suretime wristwatch given to Bernd Rosemeyer by Rudolf Caracciola. The inscription on the back of the watch reads 'Von Caracciola, An Meinen Guten Freund, Rosemeyer' (From Caracciola, to my good friend, Rosemeyer) and surrounds a German Nazi NSKK emblem. Bernd Rosemeyer (14 October 1909 - 28 January 1938) nicknamed 'The Silver Comet' was a German racing driver who grew up racing motorcycles before moving onto cars and joining the German racing team Auto Union. Otto Wilhelm Rudolf Caracciola (30 January 1901 - 28 September 1959) was also a German racing driver and raced for Mercedes during their 'Silver Arrows' period. The pair competed against each other in the European Drivers' Championships and built a strong rivalry with the younger Rosemeyer competing to take the top spot from Caracciola, who was believed to be the greatest racing driver of their generation. Whilst competing on the track at speeds of over 200mph Rosemeyer for Auto Union and Caracciola for Mercedes were also competing for the land speed record after leader of the German Nazi party Adolf Hitler decided in 1938 that it must be attained by a German man driving a German car on a German road. On 28th January 1938 both Rosemeyer and Caracciola set out to break the record on a section of Autobahn between Frankfurt and Darmstadt and after a couple of successful runs Caracciola came in at a record breaking 268mph. On the next attempt to go one better Rosemeyer set of along the section of autobahn and reached speeds aleged to be in excess of over 270mph before a crosswind caught the car sending it careering out of control and throwing Rosemeyer to his death at the oge of only 28. Rosemeyer was buried with full military honours as a member of the Nazi SS party.
