i am from Germany so please excuse my english. I try to determine the vehicle type based on an old vintage vehicle frame. I've been through a lot of pictures but I can not get around now to write a letter here. Has anybody an idea to which vehicle this frame belongs? It is very possible that this frame belongs to a german military vehicle. On the wishbones is "BOGE", so I assume that it is a vehicle from German production. I estimate the age before 1945. I have attached a few pictures. If anyone has an idea, please comment below.
Sincerely Andreas

Hello,
finally I found out that this frame belongs to an DKW Sonderklasse 1001.
Thanks for all your help.
The part that the name "Boge" is on is a combined hydraulic schock absorber and wishbone.Boge is an old german manufacturer and I belive it is today part of ZF in Friedrichshafen.One way could be to check out what cars had Boge 1600 shock absorbers up front.The front wheel hub looks as if it had front wheel drive ?? If so it narrows in the marks DKW,Adler,Tempo,etc..The rear of the frame has a very special configuration,the "kick up" for the sustension seems to be bent the opposite way.This could indicate that the rear spring has been mounted "underslung".That means that the leafsprings are mounted over the frame-rail instead of under.Perhaps this details can help identifying the frame rail.Good luck.

The frame looks very old fashioned but the suspension seems quite modern for pre 1945
I see online that BOGE is german manyfacturer of silentblocks and rubber vulcanisation since 1931 so it’s possible it’s older. If it’s military I think Germany didn’t produce much, if anything, in the period after 1945 anyway.
The frame was found in an area around Magdeburg. There was a flak position which was used for defense battle against tanks around Magdeburg. That's why I think that's about it is a military vehicle. None of the soldiers deployed there has survived the fight against the Americans
finally I found out that this frame belongs to an DKW Sonderklasse 1001.
Thanks for all your help.
Kind regards
