This is due to advanced mechanization, ever-improving manufacturing methods and optimization processes. While it was still possible to repair a motor vehicle with a set of wrenches in the 1970s, such an "intervention" today would be a blatant safety risk and probably also the technical end of an engine,...

The origin of this diary was a gift of my 75 year old aunt Elsa in the mid 90s. It was written by her brother in WWII with a now fading pencil in a kind of old German sutterlin style.
