The National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) was a paramilitary organization of the Nazi Party that existed from 1931 to 8 May 1945. The NSKK served as a training organization, mainly instructing members in the operation and maintenance of high-performance motorcycles and automobiles. The NSKK transported Nazi and Sturmabteilung officials and members and served as a roadside assistance group in the mid-1930s. With the outbreak of World War II, NSKK ranks were recruited to serve in the transport corps of various German military branches. After the German occupation of France began in 1940, a French branch of the NSKK was established. The NSKK was the smallest of the Nazi Party organizations, and it was disbanded upon the war's end in 1945.
