After Hans Ludwig had won the first part of the day in the sprint, his competitor Adolf Huschke struck back with his victories on the second and third stages. Huschke was also able to further extend his lead on the fourth part of the day. On the fifth section, which showed a different route due to a police ban, Ludwig moved closer again. Ludwig finished the sixth stage in second, while Huschke was only tenth and therefore had to bury his dreams of the title.
