Even though Nuvolari did not Speak German, and Rosemeyer didn’t Speak Italian, they were great friends

The podium after the 1936 Eifelrennen, and a fragment of the race by Elli Beinhorn, Bernd Rosemeyer wife.

“…the circuit was covered in fog and drizzle. When the cars left the start the fog had lifted, but it was raining steadily. Rudolf Caracciola(known as the Rainmaster) led for the first two laps in his Mercedes, but was then passed by Tazio Nuvolari on his Alfa Romeo, with Bernd in hot persuit. Caracciola retired and Bernd closed relentlesly on Nuvolari, passing him behind the pits, to the indescribable rejoicing of the thousands in the packed grandstands. Then the fog returned and everyone slowed dramatically - except Rosemeyer, who slowed hardly at all, lapping over thirty secongds faster than Nuvolari and finally completing the ten laps 2 minutos and 11 seconds ahead of him.

I listened in to those laps on the radio with tears in my eyes. I could hardly believe that it was my Bernd, whom radio announcer at the circuit was congratulating, his words tumbling over each other in excitement.

It was really at this race that the Rosemeyer legend began, with that extraordinary victory in the fog and he was thence-forth known as Der Nebelmeister - The Fog Master.
