Karl-Günther Bechem (also known as Bernhard Nacke) (born 21 December 1921 in Hagen, died 3 May 2011 in Hagen) was a German racing driver. A successful sportscar driver in Germany, he made his Formula 1 début in the 1952 German Grand Prix for Motorsport Bleu. He did not show much promise, but his sportscar successes warranted drives for Scuderia Aqua and EMW in 1953. Faced with profoundly uncompetitive machinery, he failed to qualify for a single race. In the 1954 Panamericana, he suffered a severe accident, and aside from a brief comeback in hillclimbing in the 1960s, he did not return to racing.
