No sooner had work {started|began} than Auto-Union抯 steel allocation - a scarce strategic {resource|useful resource} in Nazi Germany - was {substantially|considerably} {reduced|decreased|diminished|lowered}. This provoked a {crisis|disaster} at Auto-Union and a rationalization of {projects|initiatives|tasks} in {development|growth|improvement}. A {more expensive|costlier|dearer} Wanderer {version|model} of the F9 {in the|within the} pipeline was cancelled after two preproduction prototypes, {but|however} as Auto-Union抯 future was tied to {the new|the brand new} DKW {an alternative|an alternate|another} to steel was required. The stillborn Wanderer W31 {project|challenge|mission|undertaking|venture} reveals that Auto-Union was planning to standardize the F9 {concept|idea} {across|throughout} their {range|vary}. Only two full {size|dimension|measurement} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {were|had been|have been} {built|constructed}. Fortunately, Auto-Union had {a solution|an answer} in hand. {For many years|For a few years} Auto-Union had been working in partnership with the chemical {company|firm} Rommler AG to develop a {synthetic|artificial} product {called|known as|referred to as} Duroplast. Duroplast was manufactured by {pressing|urgent} phenol resin impregnated {wood|wooden} pulp in a heated press. Once dried the Duroplast panels {were|had been|have been} {strong|robust|sturdy} {and flexible|and versatile}. From 1938 DKW undertook {extensive|in depth|intensive} {road|highway|street} and crash testing of Duroplast bodied F7s to {prove|show} the utility of {the new|the brand new} product, in {the process|the method} {becoming|changing into|turning into} {the first|the primary} {company|firm} in Europe to undertake {professional|skilled} crash testing. Auto-Union undertook crash testing for all its {cars|automobiles|vehicles} {in the|within the} {1930s|nineteen thirties|thirties}, from steel bodied Audi's to plywood and Dynoplast bodied DKWs.
For DKW {the benefits|the advantages} of Duroplast {were|had been|have been} {obvious|apparent}. Firstly, the {component|element|part} {raw|uncooked} {materials|supplies} of phenolic resin and {wood|wooden} pulp {were|had been|have been} {both|each} waste {products|merchandise} and {therefore|due to this fact|subsequently} low {cost|price|value}. Secondly, Dynoplast {could be|could possibly be|may very well be|might be} pressed into {complex|advanced|complicated} curves which {could|may|might} {substantially|considerably} {reduce|cut back|scale back} manpower effort spent {building|constructing} and weatherproofing DKW's {wooden|picket|wood} bodied {cars|automobiles|vehicles}, which {were|had been|have been} very labour intensive {to fit|to suit} out. In 1939 DKW {began|started} {using|utilizing} Duroplast on the rear {body|physique} of the F8. DKW's Duroplast bodywork panels on {display|show} {at the|on the} 1938 Berlin Motor Show. Duroplast {is probably|might be} most {famous|well-known} for its use {in the|within the} Trabant, {but|however} DKW's Duroplast was developed from {wood|wooden} pulp {while|whereas} the Trabant panels {were|had been|have been} manufactured with cotton waste. By September 1939 {though|although}, ten steel-bodied prototypes had been {built|constructed} and {were|had been|have been} being put {through|by|by means of|by way of|via} {road|highway|street} trials. Advertising {material|materials} was {prepared|ready} and the {car|automobile|automotive} was scheduled {to go into|to enter} {series|collection|sequence} {production|manufacturing} in early 1940. However, these plans {were|had been|have been} {put on|placed on} hold with {the start|the beginning} of the Second World War.
Road trials and {further|additional} enhancements went on {until|till} 1942 when {all the|all of the} {military|army|navy} {situation|scenario|state of affairs} {began|started} {to turn|to show} {against|in opposition to|towards} Germany and all civilian {projects|initiatives|tasks} {were|had been|have been} shut down. Two prototypes on a {test|check|take a look at} drive. This {photo|photograph|picture} {must have|should have|will need to have} been taken {during the|in the course of the|through the|throughout the} early years of the War as {both|each} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} have their headlights masked and the left hand {car|automobile|automotive} has a black-out {light|gentle|mild} over its headlight. From 1942 {things|issues} went progressively downhill for {both|each} Germany and Auto-Union. Both Wanderer and Horch plants {were|had been|have been} given over to {war|battle|conflict|struggle|warfare} {production|manufacturing} from 1940; Horch producing trucks and Wanderer {a wide range|a variety} of {military|army|navy} {vehicles|automobiles|autos}. DKW was {the only|the one} member of the group exempted from {military|army|navy} takeover, largely {because|as a result of} the Wehrmacht deemed their two-stroke engine unsuitable for {military|army|navy} use. By 1944 transport shortages in Germany had {become|change into|develop into|grow to be|turn into|turn out to be} acute and the {military|army|navy} {were|had been|have been} {forced|compelled|pressured} to confiscate {private|non-public|personal} {vehicles|automobiles|autos} for {military|army|navy} use. {Only a few|Just a few|Only some} {vehicle|automobile|car} {types|sorts|varieties} {were|had been|have been} exempt, such {as the|because the} Mercedes-Benz 130H, which had a poor {reputation|fame|popularity|repute|status}, and DKW {vehicles|automobiles|autos}.
Auto-Union抯 executives {lost|misplaced} their Horch, Audi and Wanderer limousines and {were|had been|have been} {forced|compelled|pressured} to make do with DKWs. The ten F9 prototypes, {along with|together with} the Wanderer and DKW endurance {cars|automobiles|vehicles}, {were|had been|have been} distributed {among the|among the many} Auto-Union executives as {replacement|alternative|substitute} {cars|automobiles|vehicles}. Head of Design and Development, William Werner, who had headed up the F9 {project|challenge|mission|undertaking|venture}, took possession of {a hard|a tough} {top|high|prime} sedan. In April 1945 at an extraordinary {meeting|assembly} of the Auto-Union board in Chemnitz the chief executives of {the company|the corporate} agreed it was {in their|of their} {best|finest|greatest} {interests|pursuits} to flee from the Soviet Occupation Zone to the west. Werner took his F9 and fled to Oldenburg, {near|close to} Bremen {in the|within the} British Occupation Zone. There he {set up|arrange} a DKW spares and servicing {company|firm} to eek out a {living|dwelling|residing}. All {across|throughout} Germany Allied specialists {were|had been|have been} combing the ruins for hidden German {technology|expertise|know-how} and in 1946 the British Ministry of Supply seized his {car|automobile|automotive} and {sent|despatched} it to {the school|the college|the varsity} of Tank Technology in Cobham, Surrey for {evaluation|analysis}. Auto-Union executives, {including|together with} Werner, {were|had been|have been} interviewed {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} genesis and {development|growth|improvement} of the F9 {car|automobile|automotive}.
