This
model recreates a German cargo truck which served a crucial support
role in armored units, transporting the personnel, fuel, ammunition and
supplies which kept the forces going. The 3ton, 4x2 truck was powered by
a rear-mounted 6-cylinder gasoline engine that provided 85km/h on roads
and an impressive 35km/h on unpaved surfaces. It is estimated that some
78,000 were manufactured until July 1944, a figure which bears
testament to the truck's utility and reliability. |
