| Description: | Sports: Germany, Berlin Grand Prix. The Grand Prix of Germany, one of the select events leading to the world's auto racing championship, on the hazardous Avus track. The pace is blistering - one car rolls over, throwing the driver who miraculously escapes the terrifying spill - but only 6 of 15 cars finish. The winners, 3 Ferraris, topped by Britain's Tony Brooks with a record 139 M.P.H. Start of race. Interested spectators turn heads to follow cars. Crash: One car flips over and over; the driver, thrown from the car, gets up and walks away, to delight of those around him. Winner, still in car, receives a handshake of congratulations. | |
